I also find I'm setting this ridiculous personal deadlines on myself (carryovers from the tight deadlines I had with clients), and yeah. Fun experience, and I might re-consider doing some more freelancing in the future, but for now I'm sticking to getting my love and energy back from my own stories. :)<br /><br />Good luck with the rest of your March goals, Sheena!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682452054900402503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452907821353988622.post-84056483822592954302016-03-07T04:34:19.194-05:002016-03-07T04:34:19.194-05:00My big issue is mainly time at the moment.
