I sent a follow-up to my last client to see if they had any new work that needed a writer. I’m so shy and new to this freelance gig that sending this follow-up only occurred to me today. Now that I’ve done it, it seems like the most naturally and logical thing to do. My need to not seem pushy or overbearing blinded me to the opportunities I could be making for myself. The client’s response was very kind even though they had nothing at the moment. This is okay because it means that I’ll be in their mind when something does come up, and I’m reassured that they’re happy with the work I finished with them. I’m going to send out speculative emails to companies that I want to work with tomorrow. Suddenly, I feel this burst of positive energy flowing through me and I’m going to take advantage of it.
