After I took the kid to school, this morning, I hit on the idea that I should just make a list of everything that I want to accomplish today, and that way I will see that I got something done.
It’s just a mind trick, but it is an affective one.
Of the 10 things that I had on my list, I only have two left to go, and writing is one of the two, so I am checking that one off as we speak.
Another item on the list was to start looking up freelance writing work, and I did find some listings. All of them want a list of published work, and writing samples. Well… as of this minute I have only one web-publish review of a “D” horror movie, and plenty of samples! I know that I just have to put myself out there and see what happens. When I read up on starting a freelance writing career, all the books suggest that one should focus on what they want to write about, and go after that. My problem is that I sort of want to explore everything.
But I think everyone says that when it comes to career advice.
And I often wonder about people who follow that advice. Do they actually know what they want to focus on, or do they pick one thing and go with it, no matter what?
My gut tells me people pick something and go with it.
I would like to stay open to things.
Let’s see how long I can stick to it.
