| Freelance writers have to keep on kicking. |
Want to make it as a freelance writer? Then you have to keep on kicking. Kicking out ideas, query letters, writing and edits. If you're not on the playing field, then you're not in the game.
If your in the game, you might as well aim for the goal. Don't pass the ball off. No one else can take the shot for you. Look for an opening and make your move. It's not an open net, there are goalkeepers you have to get past. The key is to have the right idea, line up the angle, kick it past the editor and score the gig.
Miss? Try again. Score? Awesome! Do it again. If your writing keeps scoring, you might be added to the team roster.
Are you aiming for the goal?

Great post! That's how I feel about it too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to kick it up a bit if I survive this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI think I need that as a big bold sign on my desk to help me keep going when things are tough! :O)
ReplyDeleteI love that. You are so right. I always say to artists, what have you made lately? Keep kicking.
ReplyDeleteNot am I only looking for the goal and kicking towards that direction, I'm also looking ahead to the next game, too! And the one after that...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's a pleasure to meet you via the A-Z Challenge.

You make a convincing argument for freelance writing and this could be applied to blogging as well and other writing for those who write novels and other books and such.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. If you're in the game, you might as well go for the goal, don't throw away the ball...I like that!

Well, said. Freelancing means self-marketing, and it never stops.
