I'm going back to work in sept when DS will be 12m but want to do freelance/consultancy work - esp in area of marketing/communications. I can write, edit, create campaigns, do basic design, etc.
At the moment I have to go back to work to get the basic money to pay bills - although i'm only going back half time.
But I'm aware that it's hard to get outside work - esp in terms of having the time to sell yourself. My spare time will be taken up with DS.
Has anyone else made the transition?
My ultimate dream is to have the time to write - novels, screenplays - but god knows when I'll ever have time for that. I have been toying with the idea of a distance learning course, just to get me writing regularly again.
But having DS has made me want to do all this even more. It's given me a clearer perspective and I feel that it's so important to do the things I really want to do. I don't want DS looking at me in ten years time and seeing someone who regrets never taking her chances.
Does anyone understand what I mean?
