This is the issue concerning writing I have been pondering over lately. You’ll notice I haven’t blogged for a couple of weeks and to be honest this is the main reason for it. Apart from having a fantastic weekend away up in London I have been smothered with client work from all directions.
Wait – what happened to my own writing?
Are you blocking out time for writing for yourself as well as for other people?
Now this influx of client work is wonderful of course because it means my writing is going well and I’ve had plenty of money coming in. But it also means that all my own writing goals have gone to the back of the line.
So this week is going to change all that. Things have quietened down a bit which is why I’m blogging again today. And hopefully I will keep at it again now by putting this particular task to the top of my daily list.
My new website focused on writing clients
Other than that I have my own revamped website at www.allisonwhitehead.co.uk to focus on, and also that site needs some writing promotion in order to get it in front of its ideal audience – namely business people who need the kind of content I can supply. I don’t expect to achieve lots this week but it would be nice to start achieving some more own goals in between working for everyone else. To my mind these are goals that may have more long term prospects rather than bringing in instant money.
How about you? What are you doing this week to further your own career and your own writing goals?
Has this blog post made you realise you are putting your own writing behind everything else all the time? What can you do to give yourself some writing time as well as your clients?
