Long-term 30x500 lur
[2023-01-23 11:48:56 AM] : Long-term 30x500 lurker here. This is turning out to be an interesting month. I decided at the start of January to write a book about freelancing (with a bit of a JFS mentality in place); outlined it, wrote the summary, planning to get 1st draft done by end of January.
Then all the BigTech layoffs started happening. And I am getting asked the same questions over and again by people I know who think contracting might be the best way to get their bills paid this year.
So I've rapidly pivoted from writing a 1st draft to writing a substack newsletter (which is effectively the 1st draft but in single posts which will eventually make up the book).
And now I'm wondering: why didn't I plan to do it this way originally? Continuous feedback / building an audience / real questions from real people /etc
I think I need to go and start the 30x500 course again :slightly_smiling_face:
