I’ve worked on and off as a freelance writer for the past couple of years. I love doing it because it’s the kind of work that gives me more creative freedom than any other. I guess it’s also the kind of work that feels the least like work. I mean, I do a lot of writing in my spare time anyway, so doing it as work isn’t too much different to doing it as leisure. I expect it’s the kind of thing I’ll continue to do for periods throughout my life. The only real downside, I guess, is that sometimes it can be hard to find work (and also I have to do a tax return.) The reason I’m mentioning this is because I am currently working as a freelance writer and I have a lot to do. At the moment I’m writing 10,000 words a day, much more than I’ve ever written before. Not only is this very time consuming, but it also takes up a lot of my creative energy. I’m concerned that with this current routine, I may miss some updates for this blog and my Finger Puppet Show webcomic. I am hoping I will continue to do both as usual, but it’s possible that I will run out of time sooner or later and I just wanted to make this blog post so that I’ve given some warning if I ever do miss one.
