I like to tell readers why I write a particular title, so they can gain further insight and relate better to the material.
How the Idea for This EBook Came About:
One spring Sunday morning, I was sitting at my computer researching for a blog post. I don’t usually send out newsletters on Sundays but as I was conducting my research, the idea for an article came to me. I ran with it, and sent out the following newsletter
Sunday morning:
I've been out of the “conventional workforce" for so long that I don't even know what the recent styles are in workplace fashion these days.
When I used to work full-time, I lived for Fridays and hated Sundays because it meant the dawn of another work week.
I enjoyed some of the jobs I had and made some great friends I still have to this day. FYI, for me, this was the best part about working in business America.
What I've hated about most of my jobs is that they ran my life. Let me explain.
Smart, Efficient Workers Suffer the Most on FT Jobs:

I tend to be a pretty quick learner and a hard worker. I excelled on almost every job I had. So when I'd finish a project before closing date, for example, I'd wonder, why do I have to come to the office?

I finished the project, the other one is not going to hit my desk for another two weeks, so why can't I just take that time off and do what I want?
Face Time- The Bane of My Existence as a FT Employee:
But no, you gotta show "face time" at the office. Many times when I worked for the legal publishing company in New York for example,
I'd be sitting at my desk with factually NOTHING
to do for a week or two at a time. But, BECAUSE
I was a full-time employee, if I didn't show up, I didn't get paid. And this is
why I knew that working for someone else was never going to work for me.
Hating Sundays- Ditching the Compartment Life:
And this is why I hated Sundays. I wanted to go to Florida with my boyfriend for the weekend, or visit my girlfriend in Charleston for a few days, or just relax at home and watch Law & Order reruns until my eyeballs fell out.
This is why I could never go back to working full-time. While I put in many more hours as a freelancer than I ever did as a FT employee, I get to decide the where and when's of my life.
I don't ask someone when I want to go on holiday (I can't imagine waiting to get permission to go on 2, 3 or 4 weeks of holiday a year -- when you think about it, it's almost cruel);
I don't worry about using up all my sick days and notgetting paid;
I don't stress if I don't feel like starting to work until noon (I'm not a morning person at all).
When's the Best Time to Start a Freelance Writing Jobs?:
If any of this has reverberated with you and you're serious about starting freelance writing jobs, NOW is always the best time.
Why?
Because NOWis always the best time to start living the life you want -- plain and simple.
