Being a freelance copywriter is awesome. I love to write and I get to control my work. But that’s not the whole picture. Sometimes, I’ve written so much that I’m spent. I’m burned out and in a creative funk.
Over the years I’ve tried to prevent that state of affairs. I actively work on my happiness and my self-care.
Because it’s something I’m interested in, I was super excited that Kate and I got to chat to Sharon Chisholm about this very topic.
We talked about:
- Why some copywriters lose their mojo
- Warning signs that you’re heading into a funk
- How Kate, Belinda and Sharon handle demotivation
- How to deal with the happy freelancer myth
- Being happy, how do YOU define it?
- Resources and books for further mojo reading
