Home VA Training VA FAQ Podcast Featured Events for Bloggers & VAs Can you say “sidetracked?&# Especially when I see you live in Arizona and could go see as many Brewers spring training games as you want. Or I could explain how my child’s recent health scare derailed my focus. I’m so envious of you, Katie!

Your mind, like your body, must be trained to perform in certain ways, and a regimented schedule is a necessity when it comes to earning a living as a freelance writer. Just like plants need wind to grow, writers need some reassurance that they are not just going at it alone each time they sit at the keyboard. Great post.

It’s fun, but it’s not like I sit at my keyboard, occasionally throwing my arms into the air and squealing, “Wheeeeeee! Not from a ‘Hey, people listen to me, I should sound like I know what I’m talking about’ train of thought; it’d probably be more to do with ‘Oh god, can I really do this? I’m writing!”

I am not a freelancer as such but I do work from home and I’ve training my boss and colleagues to stop arranging meetings after 4pm (still working on that one), I’ve been forcing myself to step away from the keyboard and to stop checking work emails after hours. You have plenty of time left for that client.

No matter what the topic is, before you put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, be sure that you have the qualifications to write about whatever you are about to share. People like me often have extremely broad knowledge of a number of subjects in which we don’t have formal training. If not, move on to something else.

What follows is me thinking into my keyboard. If the objective is training in a specific subject, some of these would work better than others. Is the goal training? Training is something a lot of people can easily see spending money on, because there’s such a definite return. Sorry if it’s long and messy.
