Trying to be a freelancer

A few days back, I got an email forward of a speech that Warren Buffet gave. He was one of the richest men of the world, who had started trading in shares at the age of 11, and when he made money on them, his first reaction had been, "Gosh! Why didn't I start earlier!"

I anm having the same itch these days- to employ my talent with words. I know that I have it, and I am so eager to use it, 'coz otherwise my mind feels rusted and dull.

I am at my best when I've written something well.

That mood, that state of being is something else- a state of total exaltation, of supreme self-confidence!

That is how I best love myself. That is how I always want to be.

For the past few days, I've been sincerely trying to search for options available as a freelance writer.

I got a few responses as well.

But, the work I got I did not like, and chose not to do.

And, the work I wanted, I did not get.

Like, one of the content-providing services that I had approached asked me to submit an article on 'Skin Care' within two days.

That was a topic which hardly interests me. So I just let the mail be, and soonafter deleted it.

I do not want to be ordered to write 'this' or 'that.' I want to have the freedom to choose my own topic.

But, what topics can I write on?

Ummm....when an editor of a city newspaper asked me this question, I realized that I was unclear about the answer!

So, the scenario is that I am itching to unleash the writer in me- that restless spirit in me cannot wait to get out- but I cannot decide the perfect outlets for her, and what she would work on.

But, she so desperately wants to work!

At least, she can self-publish herself!

Posting on the blog seems so easy- and uncomplicated- as compared to the labrynthines of freelancing!
