There have been a lot of changes in the content writing profession recently that have demanded my attention. Not only are there major changes in the way content writers write to be recognized by search engines, many business changes to the sites we submit to have writers busy realigning their income streams.
I’ve also been lucky enough lately to pick up several additional private clients whose needs have kept me busy with researching, writing and the bookkeeping and other paperwork details that come with running a successful freelance writing business.
A successful freelance writer doesn’t waste time complaining about changes. We take the opportunity to learn and grow. We recognize these changes as a way to improve not only the way we express ourselves, but as a way to hone our skills in recognizing and adapting to trends that will serve us well in the future.
Unfortunately, finding the right balance to meet the needs of my private clients, reading about the current online content changes and the social media discussions as freelance writers try to find their way through the shifting maze of changes has left me less time to dedicate to my own websites and blogs. I recognize this as something that has to be remedies as quickly as possible.
So, as busy as I am struggling to give attention to each little piece of my writing life that has to be dealt with, I really haven’t been frustrated at all. While that may be a good thing, it doesn’t offer a lot of inspiration to write for the blog entitled The Frustrated Freelancer.
So now I’m off to learn more about time management. Luckily, I know of a freelance writer who seems to be an expert on the subject. If you’re have a problem finding time to balance your career, families and personal passions, meet me over at
