How does it feel to be a freelancer?

The most important experience is: freelance for a long time, it is really difficult to adapt to a stable working life.

I started writing in college, and I didn't go to class all day.

2008-10 that two years, with the Shanghai SMG Cooperation, two or three days a week to the television station, when the NBA commentator, some like the nature of the work-do not have to clock, but is always embarrassed to be late. So the first night early, the next morning to get up early, wash, shave, suit, go out to take a taxi, hurried to the place, explanation 2.5 hours, take a taxi home.

I told my friend: I still like to explain, promised to go to play tickets, and feel so uncomfortable, daily work, catch a dislike of the work, that morning is really going to get out of bed.

The first advantage of freelancing, of course, is the relative freedom.

For example, when in Shanghai, the girlfriend wants to go where to play, then, with a few editors to say a few words, lift legs can go. The only thing that needs to be confirmed is that the place where you live is best with the Internet.

For example: December 2010, Shanghai is too cold. My girlfriend and I went to Sanya Bird's Nest Resort (when the "non-Prudential Don't bother 2" has not been broadcast, the price is much cheaper than now), before the departure with the editor of the gas, "then I will write a little Hainan diet it?" "Good!" said the man. ”

One afternoon, we wandered around, and an editor asked me for an urgent draft. Next to Ritz. I'll go in and ask for coffee. Of course. How much? Two people, 120 an hour, 240 a day. I'm going to take a day's share, two people sit all afternoon. My girlfriend drinks coffee and reads magazines; All right.

And now, with his girlfriend in Paris, still can give the domestic editor write manuscript, 2.5, also nothing to hinder.

Interpersonal relationships are also relatively simple. Cooperation cooked the editor, each other handed a word two words, meaning understand, don't have to pull. If you ask me, I'll hand in my manuscript.

To the life, own heart also has the number. For example, a certain period of time is busy, but clearly know that they can earn money. A period of time less money, ah, but can enjoy a little leisure gallant. As you sow, you reap. The income and the air crash both, fortunately oneself also can weigh.

There is a feeling that can be seen and touched----------------------------------- Very clear oneself is a craft to eat people, relatively few empty pan feeling.

There are many disadvantages.

For example, never explain what you are doing. For a long time, my mother and friends explained that I am a freelance writer, I do not understand;

For example, when you go abroad, you always have to pay a deposit; Because I do not have to be employed in any one place, by the Bank of the water, the visa there will be a long look, always think I may be a liar.

For example, the feeling of personal ups and downs.

This feeling is very subtle, can not be said to be a sense of crisis. As I said earlier: it is clear that you write more and earn more, income/efficiency and their diligence is proportional to the degree.

Although not a sense of crisis, but there are always some, "if I am not used to play this time, but seriously read books, write, should be better?" ”

During my stay in Shanghai, I was idle, staying up late, playing PS3 white gold, and going out to travel is commonplace. But in Paris, life has been more regular, consciously up. is not a sense of crisis, or that emotion:

"If I spend my time running, watching museums, and doing excursions, it makes sense to play games and stay in bed," he said. ”

Freelance to later, probably all have this feeling:

In a small area, you have a certain freedom, but you have to take some risks; on the large scale, you are not so free.

Because most freelancers want to be able to finish their work more efficiently in short time, and to reap happiness, and not want to waste time.

And this "do not want to waste time" will always drive themselves. You know you have more possibilities, you know the ups and downs of your situation, and your seriousness is related. Even the more serious you work, the more freedom you may gain (physical and emotional, procrastination sufferers must understand what I mean). So what freelancers really need to convince is not the boss and the family, but themselves.

Roughly so.
