In reply to Sharon Hurley Hall. Learning is a wonderful byproduct of freelance writing, isn't it?

Great observation, Sharon. Gravitating toward those things we enjoy is so much more rewarding sometimes.

You’ll get there, Cathy. 🙂 I like the direction you’re leaning. Those things that make us happy should be sought out!

I love the assignments where I learn something, or which point me in a new direction. So the assignments I’ve enjoyed the most in recent months have been the ones with a diversity and belonging lens.

I really love this, Paula. It’s at the heart of why we write. Each of us take it a different direction but it’s why we keep going. I haven’t figured out my post-business writing career (except for sharing my SSB posts). I like the idea of helping improve business writing but I am still looking for what stirs my personal writing. I love watching how your writing has evolved, Paula. You go, girl! 🙂

Thanks, Dava.

If you look, you can find value in anything – even if it’s the value of a lesson learned about what not to do.

In reply to Dava Stewart. Thanks, Dava! It's more out of an obsessive need to vent than anything. :)

In reply to lwidmer.

It really is! I’m trying so hard to figure out how I can get back to reading, writing, and sharing blogs on the regular. I really miss 2010-style blogging, blog rolls, and RSS feeds — and I’m so glad you’ve maintained your blog.

I’m doing a little happy dance — Dava is here!

Dava, one of my favorite clients gives me the same assignment every month. It’s not high-paying, but it has led to so many connections, and more work from the same client, as well.

It really is an excellent post Paula’s put together, isn’t it?
