In reply to PP Gal. No there literally was zero guidance given other than the word count limitation which made it quite the puzzle to try to figure out what they were looking for. Someone else also asked for the file too, I'll make a future blog with it :)

Flexibility is what it’s all about! Hmmm… good point re the article that never came to be. Maybe I’ll share it on here someday – stay tuned 🙂

In reply to Financial Mechanic. Thanks Financial Mechanic! You said it perfectly "often works is just... work". I think if I was truly passionate about writing I could look past the headaches but knowing that we didn't really need this income and it was no longer bringing joy, it got the chopping block!

Just curious. Did you have to follow a style guide? For bloggers “Yahoo! Style Guide” is a great guide but most of the time I write whatever the way I like. Will you post the article/blog here instead since the gig didn’t push through? Otherwise, I’ll wait whatever comes on my inbox from your blog.

Loved the behind-the-scenes! Also loved getting to the bottom and having the update already. I’d love to do some freelance writing in retirement and was a bit envious at the start of the piece! But it’s true that often things are not what we expect and often work is just… work, unfortunately. Glad to hear you could get out when it wasn’t working for you!

In reply to Maria @ Handful of Thoughts. Haha thanks Maria! A few friends reached out saying the same thing about going to Google to try and find it Exactly! That time freedom aspect is so valuable and it’s such a privileged thing to be able to spend the time on things you truly value.
