I Can’t Believe That I Can Actually Write This Much

It’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog – but that’s actually a good thing. The lack of attention is not related to anything sinister, like a bout of depression – or anything remotely similar to that. It’s related to the huge amount of work that I’ve acquired from my oDesk freelance writing gigs. I’ve been fortunate enough to balance my assignments, so that when one employer reduces my hours, I can just increase the hours on another assignment. It’s a bit of a juggling act – but certainly do-able. The best part, though, is that I get a lot of positive feedback on my work – with actual client referrals (!!)

My concerted efforts at working more than 40 hours per week have really paid off. I’ll be purchasing my new computer this Thursday – which will make life a lot easier. Last week I bought the “comfy office chair” and life took on a whole new meaning. I’ll probably cut back my hours a bit so I can recover from my recent efforts (maybe just put in around 35 – 40 hrs). Still, my income level will be more than satisfactory. Even in “coasting mode” I’ll be cruising at about 55,000+ pesos a month. That’s actually more than what 2 physicians make, combined, over here (!!). But don’t be fooled. Coming up with original writing content for law firm articles, cosmetic surgical articles, online casino gambling articles and offshore finance articles can be a bit of a challenge. Especially when you’re spending 35-40 hours a week switching back and forth between various mindsets. But, as it stands, I’m learning quite a bit and I work my own schedule. It really doesn’t get any better than that.

In a couple of weeks, I’ll be heading out to the provinces for that family reunion. It looks to be quite the adventure…
