Triump & Trial Report for Feb/March

Trials:
The past two months have seen me at two ends of the spectrum. February was the driest month work wise I’ve had so far. So much so, that I was pretty down in the dumps for a while. That’s pretty much all that happened in February.
In March, the only trial I faced was a lack of a proper workspace. Sometimes, in search for perfection, I come in my own way. So for now I’m still working off my dining table till I find the perfect desk.
The toughest part however was setting up this new place and scheduling a month’s worth of posts. I’ll be leaving for India on the 8th and won’t be back for three weeks. Combine it with the regular work I was getting, along with my idiosyncrasies related to The Base’s maintenance in my absense and I was a bundle of nerves!
Triumphs:
Even though February was bad work wise, somehow I was able to keep my chin up. Yes, I count that as a triumph. In March, the freelancing gods smiled on me. I got regular work thanks to a fellow freelancer. I also got my first post published for another blog and got a bunch of work inquiries.
Even though they didn’t work out, I knew people were noticing me as a freelancer and considering me enough to contact me. That’s a triumph in my book.
It’s been uphill ever since and I couldn’t be more thankful.
The important thing to remember is that dry spells will come again. Next time however, I’ll be prepared.

I’m glad to see that everything is looking up. Make sure you don’t settle on just some desk because you will regret it. Trust me. I know. Find the one you love and go with that one, you, your computer and your muse will thank you for it.
Thanks Sal! I’m thinking of drawing up a sketch and getting it custom made. If only I knew what I wanted! I know there’s a table out there which is waiting for me to lay my eyes on it and exclaim ‘That’s the one I can’t work without!’.
