As I embarked on the journey of relaunching my website and establishing a presence on social media platforms, I felt it was important to document and share my experiences in this blog post. It's an opportunity to provide insights into the process and challenges that come with being a freelance illustrator and maintaining a consistent online presence.
Admittedly, there are days like today when I find myself uncertain about what to write. It's not easy to maintain unwavering consistency in every aspect of our creative endeavors. As a freelance creative, my priorities often revolve around meeting project deadlines and satisfying client expectations. Paying projects naturally take precedence as they contribute to our livelihoods and professional growth.
Yet, with each passing month, I realize that personal projects and creative explorations can easily slip through the cracks. The ideas and aspirations that once burned brightly can fade into the background of our bustling lives. That's why I've set aside Mondays as my designated day for organization and prioritization.
During these dedicated moments, I reflect on my overall goals, evaluate my ongoing projects, and carve out time specifically for personal creative pursuits. It's a deliberate effort to strike a balance between client work and nurturing my own artistic growth.
