Even though I haven't managed to update my blog often, I did not miss out on looking out for some substantial freelance work that will get the ball rolling. I bid for quite a few projects and I was offered most of the work as well. But I turned them down as I did not feel that my work was being valued. Writing cheap and poor quality content is one thing and giving quality work to the person who deserves it is quite another.
I wish to excel and leave a mark in the field of writing, but at the rate writers are being valued is making me difficult to move on. Although, I have noticed a very steady trend of work being done for as less as 1/2 cent a word, I have promised myself not to lower my rates to such an extent. For me, being without work for sometime is fine but I am definitely not going to compromise on the quality of my articles and also my rates.
You may feel then, 'How does she plan to survive in the freelance world?' Well, I have survived very well till now and I know I will continue surviving. With the work trickling in slowly but surely, I know I will achieve my dream of being famous in the freelance world... :-) That my friends is called 'Being Positive!'
To most it may sound like a childish and lame dream but to me writing my heart out is my passion just like for many it's music, movies, books etc. You name any topic and I can probably go on writing for hours on end. You'd think, 'With such passion, she can probably complete a novel.' 'What is she doing here?' Honestly, I am here because I can talk about anything under the sun and at the same time share my experience of freelance writing with all of you.
You have the freedom of expression on my blog and no hard feelings whatsoever. Go on, feel free to thrash my work or appreciate my work. :-)
Cheers!
