The Seven Deadly Sins of Freelancing Series

Happy Monday, all.

I trust that the various celebrations over the past few days (Independence Day in the U.S. and Canada Day for my Northern readers) haven’t taken too much of a toll on you. I actually managed to squeeze out two and a half days without working, and it felt mighty nice. Best of all, I was able to enjoy some time with some old friends who were in town visiting. We played games, shot off fireworks, lit some bonfires, and just had a swell time.

Now, I understand it might surprise some folks to hear me say say that 2 and a half days off is nice. After all, don’t freelance writers set their own schedules? We do, sure. But it doesn’t mean we work fewer hours. Not by a long shot.

While I didn’t plan it that way, my weekend provided me a great way to introduce today’s post. I’ve started a series over at Freelance Folder called The Seven Deadly Sins of Freelancing. The first sin - underestimating the job - is up today, and the rest of the series will be coming soon. Make sure to stop over there and see what I’ve cooked up for you.
