Do you make plans, and then go and do something else? I do, and it's not necessarily bad, as long as some progress is made. After all, there's so much to do, and the day only has 24 hours; as long as something is done, it's good, or at least that's how I see it.
Last time, I said I would create a gig for scripts for kinetic typography videos, and I did. I also said I would create a gig for writing inspirational articles, but I still hesitate to do it. Will I like it? What if people only want to order in bulk? Will the clients expect the impossible, or demand something that I don't actually offer? I'll probably create it anyway, sooner or later, and then deactivate it if I don't like the outcome. Just not yet.
The questionnaire for video scripts? Not done yet. Not good. Being more active on the blog? Not as much as I'd like to, but I hope I'm getting there. Tweaking the gigs some more? Yes, and will keep doing it. Being more active on Twitter? Yes. Also, I have activated the Catwriter Facebook page again, and now I'm thinking about the stuff I could post there that I don't post elsewhere (otherwise, what's the point? Why would anyone want to look at the same stuff on all the social media?).
More progress: learning new stuff. I know way too little about advertising and about using social media in general (well, I'm not exactly social myself), so I've read Ogilvy on Advertising by David Ogilvy, and Crush It!: Why Now Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk. The next one I intend to read on the subject is Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World, also by Gary Vaynerchuk. A businessman teaching me how to tell a story? Sure, why not? He's great at it, and I'm always looking to improve.
I keep thinking that I could have done more. Well, I could have. It's always possible to do more. But then I look at what I've actually done (the stuff I'm posting here is related to being a freelance writer on Fiverr; I do other things, as well), and I think to myself that this isn't bad. It could have been better, but it's still not bad. Not bad at all.
