[QUOTE="haiiro, post: 2323598, member: 1891"] I'm not at all a "big player" in terms of RPG freelancing -- I try to always have a project or two on the go, but my list of published credits is fairly small (for now!). But I do juggle that with my day job, spending time with my girlfriend, running a website, playing (and soon running) a weekly game, a weekly boardgame night, and heck, posting here. ;) I love to write, so it's an outlet that I make time for. I watch a lot of movies, but not a lot of TV. I read a lot, but in bits and pieces around other activities. My girlfriend and I can happily do our own things, and my work schedule is fairly regular. I don't think of myself as a great time manager, but the combination of factors works out well for me in terms of writing in the evenings and on weekends. When I started freelancing last year, I quickly set a goal for myself: always have a project on the go. The corollary is: never take on so many things at once that I have to sacrifice the quality of my work, or the quality of the other parts of my life. So far, that's been the perfect combination for me. No idea if that rambling answer helps at all -- and I think once I switch from playing to running a weekly game, I'm going to be feeling the crunch a lot more than I am now! Depending on how much prep time you put into your game, Southern Oracle, I can completely understand why other things -- like your freelancing -- would fall by the wayside. [/QUOTE]
