How to Move and Find Time to Write

No posts in a while, I know. That's because I've been trying to move 200 miles away, and that, my friends, is a pain in the butt.

But that doesn't mean I have to stop writing. It was difficult, yes, but I think I've discovered how to keep writing while living the hectic life of a person trying to organize a move to a different state.

Here are a few tips to keep you on track if you are moving:

1. Write in the car if you aren't driving.
2. Write an article or whatever in email form on your phone while you are shopping or waiting in line.
3. Find ten, fifteen, twenty minutes, an hour, to write before bed. Or here and there.

The biggest thing is to forget about a regular schedule and to just get in a few minutes here and there while you can so that you have articles ready to submit later.

Happy writing.

Tips and Strategies to Improve Your Freelance Writing: Organize Your Time

Organize Your Time
If you don't organize your time as a freelance writer, you might as well kiss any type of organization or achievement good-bye. Organizing your time is absolutely crucial to your success as a
freelance writer.

The Number 1 Mistake Freelance Writers Make
The number 1 mistake freelance writers make is treating their writing like a hobby and not a job. Freelance writing for many is not only a source of income but a full-fledged career. Treat freelance writing like a job: set hours and a schedule, write down what needs accomplished for the day, etc.

Stick to this schedule. If you don't, then making it was pointless.


How To Make the Most Out of Your Time as a Freelance Writer
By organizing it of course! Make sure you streamline your schedule. Set hours you can keep and keep them. Group all of your research together. Plan out your articles.

And once you do these things, see if you don't accomplish more as a freelance writer.
