There’s a great article on Poewar about freelance writing. It’s called: Successful Freelance Writers Are Like Pirates
Pirates like to have things stored away for a rainy day. They bury their treasure under two trees that form an X. They keep weapons and a rowboat in a cave. They have secret compartments in their ship in case they get boarded. Pirates like to have something stashed aside for when disaster hits.
What do freelance writers stash? Freelance writers stash the things that will be useful to them: money, articles. ideas and clients.
I think the advice in this article is right on the money. Writers need to keep a stash of items that they can use when needed. Being able to reuse and rewrite makes each piece of work infinitely marketable, which is money in the bank.
