Writer here, 30+ yrs experience, name agencies, awards, great contacts and (from what I’m told ) reputation bla bla bla… and my freelance spigot is completely shut off right now.
Usually extremely busy (thankfully), like rarely went a week without work for the past 3-4 years…but haven’t had a gig since early December. Typically have 4-5 agencies who need/use me on a sorta rotating basis but even they’re just dead right now. I’ve gotten a lot of “you’re our first call when we need someone” responses and updates — which is nice of them to say, although who knows if it is actually true — but I literally haven’t worked in going on three months now. Have saved well over the years so I’m not sweating it quite yet but it can’t keep up like this. Good luck to everybody looking out there!
Ha, honestly wasn’t trying to give off bigshot nonsense vibes, was just providing context to say that it’s hard/slow out there for people of all levels and experiences etc. and I think you’re right unfortunately, I’ve been feeling the same way, there have been slow periods but this feels particularly bleak
