I Quit Freelance Writing

This is why

I recently came to this realization.

I quit freelance writing.

I said it out loud, well, I emailed it to my email subscribers and it finally sunk in.

After many long years offering freelance writing services, I am throwing in the towel.

The last year or so has wrecked me. This is why. This is what I’ve learned. And, what I’m doing next…

Why end my freelance writing career?

It has gotten to be too hard, to be frank.

I’m tired of…

• Hustling to find clients
• Losing jobs through no fault of my own, with little to no notice
• Chasing invoices

The hustle of it all. I’m over it.

I do content writing.

Not technical writing. Not ghostwriting or copywriting.

I think based on what kind of writer you are, determines how much hustle is required. I heard this recently from a fellow writer who was totally used to all the above, as a copywriter.

In my early forties, I just feel like I’m done.
