Reading sometimes feels magical to me. A good text transports me to a different world. A thriller makes me live through the protagonist’s fears and triumphs. A good memoir lets me feel the author’s feelings, experience their struggles, and understand how they make their life choices. I feel enriched and connected. Even a good sales pitch makes me imagine how a product would make my life better, making me more eager to click Buy.

Time is money for freelance writers. So, how can you feasibly take a break during the holiday or have a vacation if you’re a freelance writer?

For the most part, employees get paid twice a month with both methods, but each has several key differences that determine if it works well in a given company or industry. Bimonthly and biweekly payments differ mainly in their payroll processing timing. However, finer details, like efficiency and the types of employees you have, will affect which one you choose.
