@DiannaLGunn @atxcopywriter @PRisUs @Saganlives I'm curious, too, since @LoriWidmer & I do the Writers Worth chat periodically (#WWMchat), but haven't yet found an ideal day or time—and don't want to inadvertently schedule it against another writing chat. Which we've done in the past. #freelancechat
A6: It sounds corny, but sometimes going back and reading some of your clips or stories—or even list of them—can help because you see what you're capable of. #WWMChat
@SHurleyHall @LoriWidmer Yep. That, too. But I can always refer clients to my sister who is an amazing graphic designer. #WWMChat
@DevonEllington @LoriWidmer The same storytelling skills you use in fiction are what can make your non-fiction sing. It all boils down to telling a story. #WWMChat
@SHurleyHall @LoriWidmer Amen. I'm not a photographer, video journalist, marketer, or copy editor. If you need someone to do those things, hire someone. (But I could be a copy editor if you paid me a TON of money.) #WWMChat
Q6: What do you do to nurture your love of writing? #WWMChat
@SHurleyHall The downside of my creativity blog is I need to finish projects. So there is a LONG lag time between posts. I aim for one a month. #WWMChat
@LoriWidmer A5: I don't feel I've ever lost my words, but I do occasionally wonder if my voice has gone. Know what I mean? My voice isn't that of a millennial, so can it still be heard? #WWMChat
@SHurleyHall @LoriWidmer My fear right now is all of the LOIs and queries I've sent out in the last month will all pay off in assignments due the same day. (It's happened before!) #WWMChat
@SHurleyHall @LoriWidmer @AnneWayman @All_Freelancing @millercathy That's precisely why my first blog was (is, actually) about creativity, not writing. That way I can include all of my creative obsessions and leave the writing advice to others. #WWMChat
@SHurleyHall @LoriWidmer I think the fact that I'm such a people pleaser helps with that, too, Sharon. I never want to disappoint a client. #WWMChat
@LoriWidmer I just had faith that things would come through. Like I have now. My talent, experience, and dedication are a pretty unbeatable combination. #WWMChat
@LoriWidmer Neither have I. Not even when I fired one client, lost another, and had the new editor of a place I'd worked with for several years tell me their new rate was 10-cents/word. I wished her luck writing the 600wd 12-source piece since it the $60 fee wasn't worth my time. #WWMChat
@LoriWidmer Not like I had much client work to do this morning, LOL! (Just a LOT of transcribing to avoid.) #WWMChat
Q4: Have you ever reached the point where you seriously considered quitting writing? If so, what brought you back? #WWMChat
@DevonEllington @LoriWidmer That reminds me: I need to target some cooking/baking/food clients with the next round of LOIs! #WWMChat
@DevonEllington @LoriWidmer I think some clients are so demanding because they want to control your time and prevent you from working for better clients. #WWMChat
@LoriWidmer Does baking cookies count? Because I did that the other day after sending some LOIs. #WWMChat
@LoriWidmer I have two favorites right now. A year ago I had three, but one decided to cut back on freelance assignments. #WWMChat
@SHurleyHall The upside are those days that fly by because you enjoy the work you're doing. You know, when work doesn't feel like work. #WWMChat
