Fantastic! Welcome to the wild and wooly world of freelancing!

I’ve just gone freelance with copywriting after being an in-house content manager for many years…but at least then I knew the issues related to what I was writing like the back of my hand! Am struggling right now with a brochure for an area that is a bit out of my comfort zone and I’m finding myself guilty of many of the things you’re saying not to do!
Tomorrow, I’m finishing off that draft by noon!!

Every text I tackle takes me way too long, and is obviously neither efficient nor cost-productive. This quick guide looks super helpful and it’s written in such a way that you just want to sit down and write a post – that’s how easy it sounds! :) Will give it a try for my next article. Thanks, Heather!

@Craig, I LOVE the egg timer method. It’s helped me focus my efforts and not spend 3 hours writing one page. :)

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Thanks!

I love how you circle back to your writing the next day. It’s amazing what we can see when we’re approaching our content with fresh eyes (and a rested brain!) :)

Thanks for your comment!

I like to condense the time by writing in the evening, sleeping on it, and then coming back to it the next morning. It certainly makes the work a lot stronger.

I don’t do the two, 25-minute editing sessions but rather one continuous session where I scan every line to see where I can cut words, connect some thoughts, or think of a fresher way of describing something. My attitude that morning is, “boy, that first draft really stunk. How am I going to save it?” As long as I’ve got the energy for that viewpoint, I know I’m likely to improve it. As soon as I start feeling like, “Oh, it’s good enough,” I know I’m no longer being effective.
