Hi & happy Monday!

Since work is slowing down for many freelance writers this time of year, I want to share some things I do when I don’t have much work (and why).

  • Rest! It’s important, it’s underrated, and often hard to come by. I love watching shows on streaming, sleeping in, reading in a bubble bath, and just “wasting” time, TBH.

  • Write on Medium! It allows for passive income in the future. I don’t always have time for it otherwise. I want to keep my profile going there even though I’m focusing more on other sites now.

  • Send pitches! How else will you get work, ya know?

  • Catch up on emails! There will always be some that need answering, amirite?

  • Get ahead on future assignments! Maybe I don’t have the expert input to add yet, but I can write the intro, find some internal links to add, etc. My future self always thanks me!

Now, onto the writing jobs and pitch calls for paid subscribers!

(Free subscribers: Want to see that content or make sure it’s worth it before purchasing? Here’s an old example of what you’ll get each week. On average, I include about 20-30 paid opps including a variety of beats, years of experience, types of writing, etc.)
