How do you know you are good enough? Good enough to land a good gig, write a good article, get a contract?
I'm sure this is something many freelance writers battle with constantly. And especially when you are just starting out.
Knowing you are good enough isn't easy and I'm not the one to tell you how to get over it but I do know one thing: It's all connected to your self esteem. If you constantly think you will fail and if you never bid on the projects you want because you think you aren't good enough then you will never win.
I saw a very good project and I am telling myself to send in my samples. But who's to say I'll get it? And then, who's to say I won't? Someone has to get it, why not me?
Well I'm not sure I will get it but then again I cannot sit around and think that I won't get it because surely then I never will. And rejection is something you have to learn to live with when you are in the writing field.
So how do you know you are good enough?

I love your freelance blog. Good luck on your way to freelancing. I know that road all too well!
I'd love to hear about how you ended up in Brazil. We're an International ex-pat family, too. :-)

I use to write a lot in school, mostly poems and short stories. I've really lost touch with writing, except for blogs. Recently, I've read a lot about freelance writing and remembered how much I loved writing. I think your blog has inspired me to get back into the program, but I'm not sure where to start.
Anyway, I'm going to keep reading other's works so maybe I will come up with an idea. Thanks for the inspiration to write again :)
