It's definitely been a challenging few years as a freelance writer, especially with a young child at home. But I'm thrilled that my perseverance has paid off in 2024!
I recently landed two high-profile clients who have commissioned me for regular work. It's a big win because the competition is fierce, and it validates my decision to take the leap into freelance work despite the financial uncertainties. Knowing that my skills and experience are in demand gives me a boost of confidence and motivates me to keep going.
Additionally, my short story will be published in an anthology this year! As a creative writer, it's always been a dream to see my words in print, and I'm excited beyond belief to hold a physical copy of my publication. It's a massive achievement, especially since I've faced many rejections in the past.
On the parenting front, my child has been hitting all his milestones, and his progression is a daily reminder of my own accomplishments as a mother. Teaching him patience, kindness, and resilience is a challenge but watching him grow into a thoughtful little human is a feeling like no other.
So, here's to celebrating all the hard work and little victories that bring us joy!
