Skellie has written yet another entertaining piece about the different kinds of freelancing arrangements that one might have been enduring/enjoying depending on one’s explanations 20 Types of Freelance Work Identified and Explained.
The one that I’ve recently experienced is the Murphy’s Law type.
The ‘everything that could go wrong, did go wrong’ gig
This project gives you nightmares. You perfected your design, only to find it looked like a Picasso painting in Internet Explorer. Your draft article got lost when your computer water-cooling system sprang a leak and started a small electrical fire. You spilled ink on your painstakingly-crafted poster concept. You deleted the wrong file, and the application broke. The frustration and disappointment makes you wish you hadn’t accepted the job in the first place. Your only goal is to get the thing over and done with.
The pros:
You learn from you mistakes.
The cons:
Sanity -2.

We must start with something we are good at.
There are lots of ways we can choose for freelancing. It all depends upon how creative we are.
