This Just in: Why I’m Leaving Full-Time Freelance Work
Full-time freelance work might be the goal for many writers, but it’s not for everyone. Here’s why I’m saying goodbye.
Today I begin a new chapter leading the development department at BryteBridge Consulting. I’m excited to return full-time to a company I’ve worked with for a few years, helping educate and support people to build sustainable nonprofit organizations. Returning to BryteBridge, I’m leaving the world of full-time freelance work.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work for myself for the past two years, but it’s time to leave that world behind. While many see the freelance lifestyle as the ultimate goal, it’s not for everyone. Healthcare coverage aside, freelance work takes a commitment to hustle in ways that are not sustainable for most people.
Spoiler alert, you don’t have to be a full-time writer to be a success. I wrote my book with people working full-time jobs in mind. Aside from the last two years, that’s how I’ve written my entire career. Focusing on quality over quantity is much easier when your creative pursuits are not directly linked to your financial wellbeing.
Don’t get me wrong, you can be a successful full-time freelance writer. I am proud of my work…
