Welcome to my internal monologue if anyone reaches out for a freelance gig. "Yes, I am available. ALWAYS. Anytime. Let's do this. What? You're hanging up? No come back!!!" And the external voice to the client sounds like this, "Oh that sounds great! Let me know what works best for you." #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #freelancelife #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales #goodtype https://www.instagram.com/p/B8RywoXn2uN/?igshid=1wx473rgaeue9

A feeling often experienced by freelancers. "Oh yes, I'd love to do that project in 24 hours and can you please also pay me as quickly? No, it will be delayed? COOL. COOL. COOL." #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #freelancelife #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales #goodtype https://www.instagram.com/p/B8CdRN9HyW9/?igshid=1p8xk7tobty7p

Why is it so hard to take an actual sick day when you work for yourself? If anything, you feel more tired as a freelancer because of all the jobs you have to do - besides the one you want to get paid for. Anyone know a remedy (haha!) to make this easier? #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #freelancelife #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales #goodtype https://www.instagram.com/p/B7b7JK0nKdT/?igshid=b6h2u9yzouzb

Have fellow freelancers heard this story? Will we ever reach the end of our quest to get paid our going rate? I hope so. Because there are only so many times I can hold back my eye-roll when people suggest payment in the form of exposure or money so low you have to LOL. 🧐 #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #freelancelife #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales #goodtype https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Y7PIVnHn7/?igshid=42uroxtbtpl3

This is what I chant when it comes to reaching out to people. Pour one out for all the emails that go unnoticed...you mattered....apparently only to me though.

When I signed up to freelance, little did I know I was also signing up to have 6 other jobs. Oh and spoiler alert: I'm still one person. This math will work out fine. NO NEED TO FREAK OUT. #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales #stickers

When a potential client contacts you for work - what is the standard amount of time to wait to respond? 1 minute? 2 minutes? 5 minutes? Just so they know we aren't like TOO desperate. #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_CHs-n9gv/?igshid=10jpd65a36w3

Is anybody reading this promo email I'm sending? WHO KNOWS. No seriously, does somebody know? #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TQ_qNnnI3/?igshid=11r3qwubrtgqt

Ahhhh yes - that time of year when you see people who work for companies posting about their holiday parties. As a freelancer, I do miss the free food + booze. However, I don't miss the awkward small talk or having to pretend to like your boss' drunken toast. So, maybe it's a wash? #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales #brushlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/B6L9b5EH1AR/?igshid=1cz5tre1zu88j

When you have to meet that client deadline, and the only person you can blame for working late is yourself. Next time you'll plan better you say.....except isn't that what you said the last time? Wear that crown proudly. #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales #lettering https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BIy4BnlC3/?igshid=hg4keuw67bmr

You know when you start to work for yourself and you look up the cost of health insurance? AND THEN YOU PASS OUT AT HOW MUCH IT COSTS? That's one of the fun journeys you get to go on as a freelancer.

Freelancing is stressful, and sometimes you need a break. And that break can be a nap. Yes, nap at work. It's good for you. #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales https://www.instagram.com/p/B526uNlHPlH/?igshid=1uhti1i6nb366

Can I charge this lunch to the boss? OH I AM THE BOSS AS THE FREELANCER? In that case - I'll just have a water, please. #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qlzjznLu7/?igshid=1sp0jokjfjfcq

Freelancing requires a lot of "research" aka casually looking up strangers on the internet who you can send your work to, so they know you exist. This is common, right? Anyone want to STALK ABOUT IT? (I'm sorry, I can't be stopped.) #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales

Want to know a freelancer secret? You can watch TV while you work! No longer do you have to hide your laptop screen for getting in that 10th viewing of Gilmore Girls or finding out who won the Great British Bake Off. Welcome to the other side. It is glorious. #fuckingfreelancing #freelancer #freelance #workingfromhome #lettering #fwportfolio #womenofillustration #freelancingfemales https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VuPSSnBNx/?igshid=1mvi6f3y7cg7k
