Hi friends! I wanted to facilitate a little space for asking me anything about freelancing, journalism, creativity, building a network, balancing projects, working in the outdoor industry, being a dog mom, sewing my own clothes, keeping a journal, this luscious kale—whatever you want. What are you curious about behind the scenes at Honing Her Craft? I’ll answer in the comments!
I love all the questions previously posed! I'm wondering how many pitches you try to send per month or week? Or maybe per day??? I know I'm not pitching as much as everyone else ... I am always reminding myself not to look in the other lane and justify my low pitching churn because I have a diversified income stream beyond writing ... but still, I am curious!
How do you find consistency in your freelance schedule? I’m having a hard time building in consistency between art days, writing days, chill days, travel days.

Is your journaling more structured (ex. listing goals for the day, gratitude, highs/lows, etc.) or more free writing?
