How do You Balance Your Work Kids as a Freelance Writer?

This one is fairly simple, you balance your work and children the same as you would any other job. The only difference is that you are working at home instead of outside the home. This means you may choose to not have childcare, although some people who work at home still keep child care because they wouldn't get any work done any other way.

If your children are in school, you simply work during school time. You can also work a few hours while they are in bed. If that's still not enough time, consider putting in an hour or two by getting up earlier than your children. Balancing your work life an home life is never easy, the key is having a structured schedule and sticking too it. For example, if your kids are home while you are working, you might try working for an hour or two at at time. Work an hour and then do a fun activity with the kids for an hour. This way they don't feel neglected and they understand when it's work time, it's work time.

There are a lot of options, these are just a few that I use. Let's here fro other freelance writing moms, though!

How do you juggle your work life and home life?

About This Blog

I started this blog in February, 2009 to share my experience changing careers. I'm a single mom and for 8 years had worked outside of the home as a customer service agent. It was a lot of stress juggling a full time job outside of the house and running a household by myself, so in August, 2008 I began blogging. I began blogging in the hopes that I could earn enough income to eventually quit my "real" job. While I didn't make enough money to quit, it did allow me to save enough money so that I could quit and concentrate full time in freelance writing. It was the best decision I have ever made and even though it has taken a lot of getting used to, I love it.

While you will still hear my trials and tribulations, my hopes for Am I Really a Writer? have changed. My goal now, is to continue this blog with helpful information and tips for aspiring freelance writers as well seasoned writers. If you have any suggestions or anything you would like to see on this site feel free to email me at emily [at] reallyawriter [dot] com. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy writing it!
