Be Creative - A Lesson in Clearing

I'm a freelance writer. For a while, I was content doing projects for my clients. And then I remembered a time when I was at my most creative. I wrote poetry and short stories and had endless ideas for screenplays and novels... I miss those days. This blog is all about reclaiming that.

A Lesson in Clearing

I have a lot of experience writing for the internet because of all the work I’ve done for my clients. After a year and a half or so, I simply got burned out.

So for several months, I kept on saying that I was going to do something about it. Change paths. Find something different. And then I’d panic because of No Money and then take on more work from The Clients. It was an endless cycle.

Finally, I stopped. Cold turkey. This is the first week in a while that I’ve had nothing lined up.

Once I did that, there was a lovely email waiting for me in my inbox. It made me feel pretty happy that I finally listened and stopped trying to be something I’m not. And this new, fun project is something that actually pays more than the work I was doing for the clients.
