The freelancer homework v paid-work dynamic is weird, and gets weirder once the need for childcare comes into play. My own aversion to freelance work is that I don't have time to do all the hustling involved in getting commissioned, and then the deadlines scare me because the
childcare infrastructure is so fragile (snow day today, for instance). My solution is to just write on substack for no money in the hopes that once my kids are older and in school I'll still be employable.
Stephanie, I saw this on Twitter (which I'm no longer on, but whatevs) and immediately came over and subscribed. Love your work, can't wait to read your stuff here!
welcome to Substack! and also <3 <3 <3 for the baby news!
thank you thank you!
