Working Hard or Hardly Working?

Posted on March 20, 2022 by Jaluna

This month has been a pretty big month for me work-wise. As you all know, I got my first freelance editing gig in a long time early this month. Well, I finished it last week, along with getting and finishing a writing gig. Both jobs were really fun, and I’m feeling more confident as a freelancer than I have in a long time. The question is, though, will I be able to get more gigs? If you have ideas of how I can promote myself better, feel free to tell me. I’d love more work.

There’s one downside to taking on multiple jobs though: time management becomes a bit more of an issue. There’s also the matter of my attention span. Basically, to be blunt…. I got no work done on Ramzowa this week. With my work and another project taking my time for a bit, I put Ramzowa in the backseat of my mind for a little bit. To be honest, I was debating changing main projects all together! But today, after working on Four Corners all week and having a plethora of problems with it… I’m thinking it’s time to focus again on Ramzowa and Magical Mayhem… Because honestly? I thought Four Corners would be easier, but as it turns out, it’s not!

So, yes. This week was a bumpy road- but it reminded me my priorities as far as projects go, and I am better learning how long certain tasks take me, too. I don’t have anything notable to report as far as game development goes in the end, but…. I’m having fun. So, there’s that.

This week is going to be a fun one. I turn 30 on Thursday! Yep, the big three-oh.

I have some ideas in the works regarding the site, too. I still can’t figure out how to get my editing services page to show in the menu, so I’m thinking of making a website solely for projects and services. What do you all think of that?

Well, that’s it for now. I have a lot of thinking, planning, and other stuff to do. Take care!

Oh, and if you see me crying at all… That’s probably because I’ve just finished watching Kotaro Lives Alone. Such a moving, amazing anime. I can’t help but cry whenever I think of it. ;-;

    Yes, I think you should have a website, as time consuming as it may be to keep it updated. It would make you come off as more professional, as it were.

    Anyone seeking your skills would be like, “Wow, and they have a website too? I’m impressed!”

    Unless people are desensitized to it these days?

    I think Craigslist has a section dedicated to writing related gigs. Perhaps that would be a good place to post or seek out work? It would be good for netting gigs that are local. That is how I managed to get a few drawings commissioned. Still, you got to look out for scammers, which is technically true of any media. Had my share of scammers on Twitter so, keep your head above water. Be ready to jab the shark in the eye, this lets them know they have to fight for their meal and they’re better off waiting at the drive-thru at McD’s like everybody else.

    Anyway, happy preemptive birthday and best of luck to you!

    Congrats on the work. And having a separate site for that stuff is a good idea.

    Man you got a lot of projects. Hope they’re going well though.
