How to Get Tired of Writing Articles in Only One Week
I have a freelance writing job writing articles. I don’t get paid much — only around $50 a month on average, depending on how many articles I write and/or how many words I write.
However, for the past couple of months, I’ve been getting paid around $80 a month for writing articles. No, I didn’t get a raise. I’ve just been writing a lot more articles (One was over 5,000 words long!), especially this past week. And let me tell you that I am TIRED OF WRITING ARTICLES! Writing may be my passion, but I like to do other things, too (see header image for example).
This past week, I’ve written over FIFTEEN articles, and I’ve yet to fully recover from all of this. So, let me give a step-by-step guide on how to get tired of writing articles in only one week.
Step 01: Have many articles you’re required to write.
This one seems like a no-brainer. Imagine writing over fifteen articles in one week, like me. You’re gonna get pretty exhausted by the end of the week. I mean, fifteen articles is a lot to write for one person; how could anyone write that much in one week? Speaking of…
Step 02: Have many of the articles due in the same days.
Since I had to work on over fifteen articles within one week, so it’s no surprise to have clumps of them due on the same days. For example, most of the articles I had to write were due on the 22nd of September. So, for the week. I was planning on writing a few articles a day. But that didn’t happen because…
Step 03: Have the app where you’re supposed to send your articles to not work on one of the days.
On the 19th, when I had twelve articles due, I was planning on doing three articles and then doing my own thing. However, when I tried to log in onto the app I use to send my articles, the app wouldn’t let me log in! Apparently, I wasn’t an “active user” or whatever (despite the fact that I had already sent in several articles the previous day). This was an all-day thing, too. So, I had to wait until tomorrow to…
Step 04: RUSH, RUSH, RUSH!!!
Rushing sucks. When you rush on something, you don’t put in much effort, and whatever you’re doing comes out poorly executed. So, because I couldn’t do some articles on the 19th, I had to do SIX ARTICLES all at once the next day! Believe me, that was an all-day project, too! Mostly because…
Step 05: Have Hemingway be a big pain to use.
In my freelance writing job, I have to use four things and submit screenshots for them before I can turn in my articles — Grammarly, Hemingway, a plagiarism detector, and an SEO keyword density detector. The other three things I didn’t have many issues with, but Hemingway almost made me snap.
In my freelance writing job, I’m required to have a Hemingway grade between 5 and 9. Wanna know what most of my grades ended up being? 10–12! Insane, isn’t it? No matter what I did, the grades wouldn’t go any lower than that on most cases. That’s because I had to…
Step 06: Write about politics.
Despite some of my most popular posts on here, I hate talking about politics. They’re stressful, and they do nothing but cause fights. So, imagine my pleasure when the articles I had to write were about nothing but political topics. Sure, they were non-partisan, but researching all of these topics made my brain tired.
By the time I was done writing the last article, I celebrated with my dog by going outside and laying out in the sunshine, which is what I wanted to do that whole week since it was hot and sunny outside every day. Why would anyone want to be cooped up in the house staring at a computer screen writing about politics? Is there any upside to that? Well…
Saving Graces: Short Articles and More Money
Like I said before, I usually get paid around $50 a month for writing articles, but that depends on how many I write and/or how many words I write. The articles I had to write were assigned to be around 500 words, so I could at least churn one out in about an hour. And, by my calculations, 500 words times 15 articles is gonna add up to a lot of money, so that’s nice, I guess…
In Conclusion
I had to write over fifteen articles about politics, and Hemingway decided to be a royal pain, and the app I’m supposed to use didn’t want to work for one day. So, I had to rush, and now I’m tired. This is all you’re getting for now. Bye bye.
