What was the reason you decided to go freelance? I’m willing to bet good money one of the main reasons was so you could have more time to do the things you love, right?

Every writer comes to a point from time to time, where they like there’s nothing left to write about – totally and unconditionally.
And still, they know that they have to come up with something, because they have clients or they have to attract customers or prospects to their blog.
You’ve done it! You are building your freelance career and it feels pretty great.
You can work where you want, when you want. You can even work in your PJs and no one will ever know.

When a slow period happens, you often don’t see it coming.
Everything is going great, the money is flowing, and you’re swamped with projects. Then, without warning, your freelance project to-do-list is so empty that you can practically hear the crickets. Sound familiar?
What is writing?
According to Wikipedia, writing is a medium of human communication that represents language and emotion through the inscription or recording of signs and symbols.
If you can do this well, there are people who will pay you for it, since not everyone can or even wants to write.
