Just a quick shout out about this!
Even in New Zealand, a relatively small island country, it is possible to feel quite isolated and alone as a freelancer. Working at a home office means that you don't get to chat to workmates, you don't get to get together after 5pm, you rarely have the opportunity to network. With very little in the way of associations and groups that are accessible to everyone, I have decided to start a Facebook group: Freelance Writers New Zealand.
While many groups online have fallen way to self-promoting of services and products, Freelance Writers New Zealand is designed to be purely a community for connecting, learning and sharing. We can't all get together all the time, sure, but that is no reason not to be able to connect with others -- especially in this day-in-age!
Besides, as freelancers, we need reasons to procrastinate.
Right?
If you are a Kiwi and you have a blog, send out the odd article, or work as a full-time freelance writer, please check out the group and feel free to join!
