MAKE TIME TO BE SOLITARY

Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone. ~ Paul Tillich

Books take many hours to write, which gives the public the impression that writers are lonely, solitary creatures. The average person cannot stand being alone. However, it's next to impossible to be alone anymore. 

I'm not talking about people interference, though that is an issue. How often do you write without access to the internet? Your phone? Earbuds or background music? Most writers aren't solitary. On the contrary they usually cannot stand not to be connected. And maintaining that connection means you are not completely alone which could be impacting your writing.

You may think you need the noise, connection, or music because your brain cannot take the concept of being totally shut off from it. You've convinced yourself you need that accompaniment. Truth is, being focused on one, intense thing like creative writing is a challenge. 

We multi-task so much these days that we have lost touch with single-tasking. If we are too long silent online, or do not answer our phone, other people worry. Actually, when people are able to slide away into solitary mode and remain there a while, other people become concerned about broken, abnormal behavior. "You aren't depressed, are you?" In reality, all the stimuli we can't keep up with might be more the cause of said depression.

Suzanne Degges-White, a psychology professor at Northern Illinois University, says: “You can’t make good decisions if you don’t ever give yourself time to reflect.” And “if you’re constantly engaged in the world, it’s harder to make space for those moments of genius.”

Resource: https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/sc-fam-need-for-alone-time-1225-story.html 

Gaming on your phone is not alone time. Background music is not alone time. Anything conflicting with alone time saps brain function. Find time where nothing is required of you. Absolutely nothing. 

Regenerate with alone time, then try writing with nothing else active around you. Attempt pure, unadulterated thinking about your story. This allows your writing to pour instead of fighting its way around the distractions.

SUCCESS QUOTE

SUccess Story

Hi, Hope!

I just received one of the best emails I've had in a long time. It wasn't a rejection! Yay! 

A year or two ago, I read about residencies at Hypatia-in-the-Woods when I opened your email newsletter. This year I was finally able to apply for the correct time frame (I kept missing the deadlines for the months I wanted). And I received notification last night that I was accepted for a week this summer!

I am so looking forward to this time to work on my writing and photography in a quiet cabin, Holly House, with no interruptions. This is the best kind of news to kick off 2019. 

Thank you for keeping us informed about opportunities for writers. Thank you!!!
(Maybe I've had too much coffee...so many exclamation points!)

Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
Angie Quantrell

Transition to Full-time Freelance Writing Just Took a Bit of Math

By Kelly Boyer Sagert

Like many people who want to write for a living, I was much better in English class than math. But, once I crafted a loosely-defined mathematical equation about freelance writing income, I easily transitioned into full-time freelance writing.

I began writing professionally as a side gig in 1990, working other non-writing jobs for steady income. I then began working in writing-related jobs while growing my freelance business—and then became fully self-employed when I created the following mix of income streams:

•    Creating content for clients of digital marketing agencies
•    Creating content for clients where I directly contract with them
•    Writing books
•    Teaching/consulting/mentoring/speaking gigs
•    Editing content
•    Doing creative writing projects

Here are benefits of each.

Digital Marketing Agency Content

Digital marketing agencies are companies that offer blogging and copywriting services, among other offerings such as SEO, to clients. Often, they get more writing work than they can handle, so they outsource it. To find agencies in my state, I’d type this in Google: digital marketing agencies Ohio. I’d then click on the Google Map that shows up and contact numerous agencies that show up. I’ve also found opportunities at FreelanceWritingGigs.com.

With this type of work, I’m given monthly writing assignments from the agencies, often for several of their clients, and then I get paid directly from the agency: one monthly invoice, one monthly check per agency for me.

Directly Contracting with Clients

Typically, I can get a higher rate when I work directly with a client, which is a plus. So, you can make more money by directly contacting companies to see if they need blogging or copywriting services. You can do this via LinkedIn, as just one avenue. Or, again, I’ve found opportunities at sites like FreelanceWritingGigs.com or ProBlogger.com. 

Writing books

At any given time, I like to have a book in some stage of development. To date, I’ve traditionally published 14 (and I’m considering self-publishing a book of poetry). The advantage of including book publishing in the mix is that you can gain fairly significant publicity for your work through being an author, plus this is one of the best ways to get speaking gigs—plus there is the income from book sales. I wouldn’t want to rely solely on royalties and book signings, but it plays a role. I find that books appealing to niche audiences to be the most in demand. These include Hidden History of Lorain County, About Boomerangs: America’s Silent Sport and Joe Jackson: A Biography. 

Teaching/Consulting/Mentoring/Speaking Gigs

This supplemental form of income keeps me connected with other writers; allows me to give back to the community that supports me; is a way of thanking those who have helped me in my own career; publicizes my name/brand/work; and can be a lot of fun. I live by Cleveland and speak in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. Sometimes I speak to other writers at writing conferences (find opportunities at ShawGuides.com); other times, to people who are interested in a book I’ve written. As an example of the latter, I spoke at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York about Shoeless Joe Jackson. I can sometimes get a couple of hundred dollars per hour, plus expenses, for presentations.  

Editing Content

For about four years, I worked as the managing editor of a print magazine publishing company, so I use that experience to solicit freelance editing for other writers. I keep this a small percentage of the overall mix of income because it’s time consuming.

Doing Creative Writing Projects

This can include writing business video scripts for digital marketing agencies or direct clients, writing play scripts and even for a full-length documentary (the Emmy-Award-nominated Trail Magic: The Grandma Gatewood Story that appeared on PBS). I write short stories and poems, as well. Some of my creative writing has paid pretty well. Other pieces are written largely for the love of the craft and the joy it brings. If playwriting interests you, hang around theaters and actors. Ask them about what opportunities exist in your region. Network. Search online for creative writing opportunities and contests, including at Submittable.com. 

How much work falls into each category fluctuates somewhat, month by month, and your percentages likely wouldn’t look just like mine. But, having a variety of work helps to ensure that enough income comes in each month.

BIO: Kelly Boyer Sagert is the writer of the Emmy-Award-nominated documentary, Trail Magic: The Grandma Gatewood Story, which appeared on PBS. She and the rest of the documentary team are now working to bring the story of the first woman to run for president, Victoria Woodhull, to life on film. Website http://kbsagert.com/
