You want to get it out of the way so you can start your writing project. Tweet about your writing project. This is the way writers used to write.

The world is full of dreaming writers who have heard golden stories of the great beyond (working full time as a well-paid freelance copywriter) but who have yet to make the mysterious transformation from mere mortal to freelance god. But when it comes time for their project, they want you to be ready to go today. That’s bunk.

I’m happier when he attaches a guest post – he’s a great writer full of good stuff to share. In a recent conversation, a writer told me that he hates projects about things that don’t interest him. Top writers are ruthless editors and heartless revisionists. He’s a nice guy. We all make them.

There’s a school of writing – call it writers’ boot camp – that tells you things like: You must write every day. Writers’ block is just laziness Now, there’s some truth in these bits of advice, otherwise we’d never listen to them. Well, if you’re a writer, you probably enjoy writing.

Some writing jobs are just dreary, like being a marketing writer at Shoelaces-R-Us. Some writers, like me, have a thick skin and are pretty Type-A anyway. But I think most writers are not compatible with that sort of bulldozer personality. Some writers are happy with just a little extra income.

Another discussion was with an associate who said he saw freelance projects on Elance with bids of $50 for sales letters and $5 for blog posts. I know that many writers aren’t great with numbers or comfortable talking about money. Charge hourly for long or uncertain projects. Set a project minimum for hourly billing.

Lindsay Ostrom started the food blog Pinch of Yum in 2010, where she shared recipes and food photography.

Good News for Content Writers Don’t worry. In fact, you can make even more money as a content writer if you choose NOT to write blog content. Sometimes, the most effective way to be the best freelance writer for your client is to tell that person why you shouldn’t be hired for a specific job. What a great idea.

How do you tell your clients that you need an extension on a project because you’re sick? They won’t be shocked and dismayed when you finally do announce there’s no way in hell you can get out of bed and that their project is going to be late. If a client gets sick, you can bet the project gets pushed back. Scheduling helps.
