freelancing blues

IF you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

freelancing blues

September 19, 2007

“so, how does it feel to be a freewheeling freelancer?” a friend asked me last weekend,

the question sounded innocuous enough but it took me a while to form my answer. frankly, i’m not too sure what it means. sometimes it feels like i’m stuck in a runaway roller-coaster that travels on two speeds: it’s either dizzyingly fast or too excruciatingly slow.

there are days when things are slow and i sort of walk around in a daze, followed by short periods of intense activity that barely leave me enough time to sleep or to take a deep breath.

basically, when you decide to become a freelancer one ought to be ready for the most unpredictable of schedules. when developments crop up on an hourly basis, the most you can do is hang on and hope you’re still in one piece when the dust settles. seriously though, after months of lazing around, i’m just glad for something to do (thanks TPS). heaven knows i never planned for this to happen.

a few months ago, i was so sure about the direction i was going to take (and made plans accordingly), but thanks to a few unexpected developments i am now as aimless as ever. well, not exactly. i actually have had several things on my lap for some time now, but the truth is i’m not too sure about what i really want to do at this stage.

i guess i’ll know more in the next few months…

p.s. to the scorpion king, you reap what you sow.

I’d like to make a guess but the person in my mind doesn’t look exactly as formidable as The Rock. He he

ahem… no comment (i plead the Fifth) i guess i’m just being ornery. i soooo need to sleep but for some perverse reason i can’t.
The Rock has an upcoming movie (The Game Plan) — i’m planning to watch this one too

Don’t talk to me about lazing around…

Things will be fine… they always do… Hmmm, well, I hope for the best.
