Why I Stick with Freelance Writing

After a year of working as a school teacher, I have decided to quit my job to spend time with my baby. I have many guilt on being far from him during his infancy and I remember going to church, praying to still have a career while spending time with my son. And just recently, my husband asked about how I’m doing with my freelancing and if I’m happy working at home. A simple smile on my face is an assuring answer to my husband.

Money and time – that what I asked for. And I have it now, as a freelance writer. With the bliss I have now juggling both career and family time, many times I regret not to know about freelancing writing. I was so ignorant!

I forgive myself and I just enjoy the benefits of being a freelance writing. I don’t have a boss, I don’t have to be presentable to work and I don’t have to sacrifice my son. My clients are my clients, they can’t nag me when they are stressed or I don’t have to deal with parents questioning about their child’s grades. I don’t have to spend the night preparing my presentations but rather, reading “Gulliver’s Travel” to put my son to sleep.

And to top it all, I earn more than I used to be and now contributes to our household expenses, not to mention sending my brother to college. There might be some disadvantages but I am more inclined to the benefits of freelance writing.

Hence, I highly suggest mothers to work as a freelancer or a freelance writer if you are into this carft. I still hire a nanny to help me when I have tons of articles to write but I have lots of time to answer to my child’s cries.
