Freelancers' motivation to finally sit down, place the tips of your fingers upon the keyboard and type away varies in nature and degrees of success. Some lead this type of occupation because they choose freelancing instead of working 9-5 in a crowded and far-distanced office, others cannot imagine their lives without pouring words onto the paper (a Microsoft Word document, to be precise) or have their own indescribable driving factors for it. However, regardless of the motives, each one of the freelancers has to find and keep their writing muse for the sake of a skillfully completed project – first of all; and for the sake of not feeling lonely and desperate when sitting in front of the computer and attempting for a project – last, but far not least.
Writing muse is a very unstable creature. It may come when you are least ready for it, and suddenly leave right when everything is going way too smoothly. The message which is being passed here is a simple fact that a freelancer, a person who has abandoned mundane routine of being trapped in an office and adopted to the rapid pace of social changes, needs not to rely on their writing muse solely.
Undoubtedly, muse, inspiration, aspiration, passion, ambition or whatever other word for the indication of a lifted inner spirit which helps you finish off a project timely and nicely comes to your mind, is important. Finding it, keeping it, nurturing opts for success, however, let us be honest – this is not a sole key to success. So, the soil in which you plant a feeble sprout of a future muse has to be fertilized with your own set of fundamental skills needed for successful freelancing: writing skills, wise time-management and pleasant working environment – whatever the domain you are working in.
Good luck and may your muse stay always by your side! 😊
