i'm at the fun stage of freelancing where i'm constantly going between "oh nice with some quieter times finally" and "oh nooo i'm never getting another project"
I’m kinda in the same boat. My quiet time started in November and I’ve spent my time with an app side project (with hired developer out of my own pocket). Now I’m starting to get a “I’ve made a huge mistake”-feeling when it’s crickets galore from client projects.
