• It’s a Reflection of your Work – Most freelancers use blog to show off their designs to the world. It’s another place where prospective clients can find you and go through your work. It’s almost like having a professional website for a freelancer who has limited resource.

The Writer’s Block – Just beat it

Writer's Block

It was a bright, sunny Thursday afternoon.  I can never forget it. I was living my dream working on my freelance projects, writing content for a website when it struck me. I had an empty page in front of me and I wasn’t able to fill it up with words. I had every aspect of my freelancing project organized in advance but as soon as I sat down to fill that clear white page, my mind suddenly went blank and that was not all.  I had a deadline to beat. I was under the dark spell of what is more commonly known as Writer’s Block or a Blank Page Syndrome.

But have no fear. I found my way out of this blinking cursor syndrome & so will you. Read on.

•    Nobody’s perfect – This is a fact so learn to live with it. Don’t burden yourself with your own expectations.

•    Take a walk or do some exercise – Go out and do something that is not related to writing. Physical activity of any kind will help you to de-stress yourself.

•    Read some book or listen to your favorite music – A well written book by your favorite author or a music piece will more often than not inspire you to get back to that blank page and fill it up.
