Starting in July 2018, I share a monthly income and expense report to show what one smutlancer makes as a full-time writer and blogger.
The summer has been a time of unplanned rest (but much needed) and navigating new financial realities in my personal life (like insurance premiums that doubled and rent that’s 50% higher than a mortgage). Business has picked up in the last few weeks — from existing and new clients — so I’ll be curious to see what happens in the fall. For now, here’s what July’s income looked like.

Yes, we’re in a new year, but finances don’t always follow calendars. Which is why we’re still talking about December 2018 in terms of income. December was the best financial month of my entire...
Very quickly you’ll see that November was a very good month in my smutlancer life. One client doubled the work they wanted me to do and increased my pay to match that additional work....
October was a lot like September, as you’ll see in how close the numbers are from one month to the next. But this was also the month that I started extra projects for a...
