getting paid to write - ups and downs
I'm writing this as I prepare to start on my current project (somewhat tied to this blog), kind of to set my brain back to English. So as some of you know, I started freelance writing some time ago. Surprisingly it's going well enough, but there are some things that well, are quite bothering,
So tonight for example I am attempting the absolutely impossoble. Write nearly 20 k words... but that's not the tough part. all info I got on the book was 'love story, 7 characters, the length, setting and 5 places. I'm trying my hardest to write it well but it's tough as I have no idea how to write 25 k words on something that could be 10. However, I get paid well for it, so...
So first down has to be: unrealistic needs of buyers.
To even it out we have the : 'money you get paid (over 100 dollars just for one gig)
Lately, I've been targeted with various s: someone wanted me to make VIDEOS while blowing up balloons. Someone else wanted pictures of my feet. lol
So con number two: ERTS.
I have been super busy this week, barely any time to breathe (but I did earn well next to the 100 I will get) so obviously, IT'S SUPER TIME-CONSUIMING. Sometimes I feel like I won't ever get to the list of my gigs lol.
Still I AM WRITING and that's amazing
In general, it tires out the brain. So a lot of time I just lie in bed, unable to think but can't fall asleep. It needs a balanced person for sure :D
I think writing can be worth it if you find your own crowd and if you end up writing what you really enjoy :D So yeah. if anyone wants to try good luck :P I think it's a lovely thing (but I was I had more time, lol) I do have another job next to it though so yea.
Kata, out.
My break is over :P
