The journal of a new mom and freelance editor who blogs about both when she has the time!

I took my first step to being more organized and efficient ... I opted out of receiving this daily email that listed "Virtual Editing Work." Most days there is nothing in my field but today I saw three listings that I could do. One paid $10 per hour, one paid $9 per hour, and one paid up to $12 per hour. And two of the listings were in broken English.

You have GOT to be kidding me!

So now I don't have to see it in my in-box anymore. Yea for me.

It's amazing how things change. I used to spend my "net" time checking all freelance sites, posting on here, checking editing sites ... Now I check FB and check items for work and post on 100 Words. That's about it. I have little time to look at freelance items, blogs ... . Maybe that will change again sometime.

I do miss keeping up with all the freelance sites. But I should spend more time working. And writing poetry. And submitting. Oh, to get back to when I used Sundays all for my own writing, submitting, etc. That was a good plan.

Maybe it is all organization? Maybe soon when I have my own office (just me, my own room!!) I can get more done? Somehow I keep thinking I can fit it all in with a child now in the mix, and I can't. I think I should be superwoman and that's silly.

In any case, I will forge ahead and try to feel good about what I can get done. Try to be more efficient so I can spend even more time playing with and discovering with and teaching K. My head is spinning but I think all will work out ...
