  • Follow along with my busy day in the life! As a full-time editor and business owner, my days are filled with emails, admin work, editing, and more. I'm trying hard to get a TON of work done before we move into the Sprinter van in late April, and I hope to share lots of vlogs along the way!

    I’m trying to push back emails and texts to the last hour or so of my day and not expend that vital morning energy on things other than writing. 2020 was hell, but it taught me not to engage in other business before writing-whenever possible! Great video, BTW...liking the vibe you’re creating here :)

    • @NataliaLeigh
      @NataliaLeigh  Pƙed 3 lety +5

      That is such a good idea. My issue is I get stressed about the number of emails and immediately start them in the morning, then look up and realize it's 2 p.m. and I haven't done any editing for the day, lol. Perhaps I need to try a week of just doing evening emails XD So glad you're enjoying the vlog style!

      @@NataliaLeigh My editing as a business is pretty sporadic. Not really wanting that full time right now. But my other work at home, while not writing, is still fan based. And those who have contacted me through social media will text to start conversations at odd times that I don’t have all day to engage in. So evening works much better because they’re thinking about having dinner and/or watching their favorite programs :)

    I have to say I totally dig the direction of the vlog. I’d like to start one myself eventually. I’ll get there I guess. Fun fact: my Tatum plays Animal crossing a the time 😂 so I can relate!

      @NataliaLeigh  Pƙed 3 lety

    Ten o'clock to five thirty is a very long day? What time was wake up!? Sitting in your bed scrolling is not included in a days work. I do not deny the mental stress of having to reply to emails and having to read over and edit. But to someone who has worked 15 and 24 plus hour days in the military, this is a very easy day.

    great video :) What degree do you need to study to become a copy editor? And how does the freelance work go, do you have to contact/solicit publishing houses, present a CV and your work? How do you manage financially?
