It's Good When You Like Your Work

I may have said this here before, but I work mainly from home. I work as a copywriter, so telecommuting is a real option for me. Fortunately, I love my work. Recently, that was driven home to me.

I got a project to do, writing Internet content, on a variety of subjects. It was great. I must have turned out 15,000 words in 3 weeks. I was on a roll, in the zone, working at a furious pace, and loving every minute of it.

The drawback, of course, is that I was glued to my laptop during that time. My friends complained that they could only reach me on email, and my wife, well, when she resorted to emailing me, I took a day off.... But the point is, when your work is fun and appealing to you, you can do anything. I got that project in, 3 days early, is the shape the client wanted, and netted myself a nice bonus (5 cents per word, you figure it out).

I'm taking a few days off right now, resting my fingers, and doing some light reading and blogging, but I'm also thinking about work. I checked my calendar; I know what's coming down the line, and I'll be ready. I have a talent for researching web content articles, and fitting keywords into them during the writing process, and then for turning out a readable product. And my boss knows it. So maybe next week I'll be hitting another zone in content writing, but that's OK with me.

I like my job, so I can take whatever it can deal. And what can get better than that, in any profession?
