The Fun of Freelance Writing
There are many reasons to become a freelance writer and the fun and excitement that this career offers is one of the most important. I never liked any of my past jobs. Sure, they paid the bills and were fun to a certain extent, but they were nothing to get overly excited about. But when I became a freelance writer, this all changed. I realized that there was money to be made, and that I would be able to have fun day in and day out.
What makes a career as a freelance writer fun and exciting? The great thing about this question is that it has many answers. The reasons that I find freelancing to be fun may not match what you think, and vice versa.
For me, the real fun of freelance writing is getting to “do it all.†I get to write for a living, but at the same time I take part in sales, marketing, customer service, accounting, and much more. For many, this may sound boring and tedious. But for me, it is a lot of fun.
Over my time as a freelance writer I have had the chance to meet and become friends with many people. Some of them just like me, others famous for one reason or the next. Adding to my network is always fun. And not only is it fun, but it is also profitable in the long run.
If you are not having fun as a freelance writer you should reconsider your career choice. There are other reasons to become a freelancer, but if you are not having fun you are not going to last long. Soon enough you will burn out and realize that moving on would be in your best interest.
You should not have to force things, either. If you truly love your career as a freelance writer the fun will come to you. Does this mean that you are going to have tons of fun every minute of everyday? Of course not. There are some days when I love my job and others when the work piles up and I have too much going on. But even then I realize that this is the best career for me, and that the fun will always be there.
