Last week I got engage in an e-learning project that's taking practically all of my time, and leaving little space for advances on my personal projects. Despite all the advantages of working as a freelance, one of he thing I like the least is the inability to predict how much work one is gonna have to get done next week.
If about a month ago I was far more busy doing business development than getting real work done, reviewing job boards, sending out proposals, doing follow ups, etc., today I'm already reaching my limit of working hours. It's interesting how the market works: I'm harvesting what I started seeding about 2 months ago, and almost running out of hands. However, in about a month or two, things could be as dead as they were at the beginning, considering that during Summer everybody is on vacation, and hardly anything gets done. The best you can do is go on vacation yourself, or prepare to get busy next Fall.
I'm hopefully doing both, but for the time being I'm finding it difficult to find ideas on what to write about. I think is just that I'm so tired by the end of the day...
I'm working on a Flash project for the
International Institute for Learning, and it involves a lot of animation synchronized with voice-overs, which is something I stopped doing a couple of year ago, when I started trying to keep everything in one frame. To tell your the truth, I was unsure about accepting the assignment at the beginning, since it felt almost like taking a step back. However, the real challenge is that the job requires real understanding of the materials and topics being taught.
Fortunately for all of us, my background in business management has been very helpful, and the Institute is satisfied with the results, so far. So, it seems like we are going to be working on this for a while, and I'll have more updates on this later.
