New Opportunities
I took about a half day to feel sad and let down about the magazine gig ending. Then I emailed around to some other clients. Looks like one client will have a big massage book for me that must get into production by June 1, which will require about 30 hours a month for me, starting the beginning of February through May/June. She also has a giant medical terminology textbook that needs revision; the author is someone I really like, so I’m pleased to get aboard that revision. Plus, it will be steady work through the fall. She may also need me to write a manuscript on a natural health topic, but this one isn’t definite yet. So, other doors are opening up. That feels good.
I'm a busy freelance editor and writer, wife to Ian, and mother to two precious boys. I am living each day to the fullest and with as much grace, creativity, and patience as I can muster.

Letting go of something good is really hard, especially when you don’t get to choose the timing. It’s great that you’ve these other opportunities opening up, though.

It is tough, but I do enjoy new projects, especially long-term ones that ensure a monthly income. That’s music to a freelancer’s ears. Thanks for the support.
