Goodbye, Queen Elizabeth II

And thank you for your service — I’m British. I have, until now, only ever known one monarch on the throne my entire life. And today was her state funeral as she was laid to rest at the grand age of 96. Now, I’m not exactly a Royal supporter, nor am I against the monarchy either. I…

Goals Keep us Going

It’s easy to lose your way without a focus — After I left university, I toyed with several career choices. I took a writing course and made an attempt at a career as a writer. I also made plans to start a web design business. Thankfully that business never left the planning stage as I’m terrible at design. I eventually…

Never undersell your worth

There’s a formula that freelancers need to know — Desperation for money + imposter syndrome = getting lowballed Imposter syndrome is something that most freelancers will suffer from at some point. It’s quite common for freelancers just starting out to suffer with it as they don’t feel they are ‘proper’ writers/artists/designers or whatever they are, yet. But I have…
