Freelancer Firsts: A Memoir Exercise

✨ Writing Prompt

Reflect on your first freelance project. Write a short memoir entry (300-500 words) detailing the experience. Focus on the emotions you felt, the challenges you faced, and the lessons you learned. As you write, strive to explain any industry-specific jargon or terminology you might naturally want to include in a way that someone unfamiliar with freelancing can understand. Consider the following questions to guide your writing: What was your first project or client? What were your goals, and what were the unexpected outcomes? How did you feel about the work you were doing?
