Completion of First Freelance Writing Assignment

Published by hanagem under Uncategorized Edit This

I started this writing assignment some time in November. The deadline was mid-January this year. In the beginning, I was quite excited about it all and submitted one section every week or so. Then I went on a short trip, and all my schedule was haywire.

I began to procrastinate writing it. When the new year began, it made me realise that I only have two weeks left before the deadline. I tried very hard to find time to write. In November and December, my husband was around and helped looked after my daughter. In January, he went back to work and left me typing away only when my daughter is napping or sleeping at night. I was also exhausted from her change of sleeping pattern. She was sleeping later and later, and I had to work on adjusting her routine. Subsequently, I cut her nap time during the day and she slept all night from 9pm to 7am. Although I had a shorter work time during the day, I still had some energy to work till about 11pm at night.

One week after the deadline, I have finally completed the assignment. My friend who got me the contract said not to worry about the deadline, and gave me till the end of the month to complete everything. But I have finished it all now. It felt great sending off the final piece.

Now I have more time for other things I like to do - mylotting, writing reviews, writing articles and searching for ways to make more money online.
