I'm happy because I have two clients now! One of them I found through a writer's forum and the other one I got through a letter of introduction I sent to them. They're both marketing agencies, and I get to write about some topics that I actually like!
I won't lie, last week was HARD. For the past two weeks I have been dealing with a lot of personal issues. My birthday was a week ago, and I didn't enjoy it much because my mom was sick. I live with her and I had to take care of her. Also, I am going through a breakup which has been really hard on me. Before I got these two clients, I was mostly writing for Textbroker, which is a content mill that doesn't pay that much. And even then I wouldn't work regularly because gosh, it's so hard to write 10-15 articles for $3.50 each. Especially when you're depressed. It's demoralizing after awhile. With my clients I have to write a set number of articles each week, so that was a tough adjustment to make. I was alternating between writing (or trying to write), crying over my ex, feeling utterly depressed, and taking care of my ailing mom.
I don't think I would have made it through if it weren't for my friends and Recovery Inc. Recovery Inc. is a self help program I came across a few years ago. It taught me a lot of ways to function despite my depression symptoms. I went to a few online meetings and it helped a lot. I've been struggling with my depression a lot through the years, but Recovery has made things more bearable.
As for my break up, I miss my ex a lot... :( I'll get through it though.
I can't wait to update my savings thermometer next week!
