Last Wednesday I finally made the leap into the freelance world. It was something I had been planning and plotting to do for months, of not years.. I didn’t really expect it to happen in my annual review, but the time seemed to present itsef. The night before, my quote for a very meaty project was approved. In the meeting I got another message approving a separate project. And honestly I wasn’t in the mood to hear yet again this year that there were creative opportunities just around the corner for me.

Seven years of crossing my fingers for and waiting some sort of creative opportunity is more than enough patience if you ask me. And if that wasn’t a long enough wait, being told my work is craptastic was enough of a flashing neon sign in my face that it was time move on.
I drank more than a few root beers today. (Maybe now that I make my own schedule I can finally get around to making the root beer I’ve been wanting to make for about a decade now.)

I honestly feel like I’m finally moving at a slower pace, or at least at whatever pace I feel like moving at today. Just feeling like I’m in control of my own life a little more feels a hell of a lot better. I know this all will take a lot of getting used to and a lot more discipline, but whatever.. Here goes nothin!
