What You Should Do While You Still Don't Have Any Freelance Clients Yet?

Reddit was right — Wonder was not wonderful and I paid way too much for this disappointing meal:
 
Last Friday, I had a taste for brisket and wanted to try Wonder’s BBQ (using a Uber Eats promo code). I could have went to my kitchen and made a quick little chili, but I wanted to treat myself. Welp — Reddit wins again. I should have listened to the 18 people who responded to Have You Tried Wonder on the Ask Philly sub/Reddit. Only one person had something positive to say, about Wonder’s food. So being an optimist (and a little foolish and hungry) — I put in my hopeful order. I knew something was wrong when the first charge hit my card for $26 — then the $48 and then the tip. I ordered from the Jenkintown location. Full article below

Reddit Was Right - Wonder is not wonderful

Lately I’ve been struggling a bit with the emotional side of working independently.

Not the work itself, but the lack of feedback around it. When nobody really sees the effort day to day, it becomes strangely hard to tell whether you’re moving forward or just stuck in your own head.

I didn’t expect silence and uncertainty to affect motivation this much.

People who’ve worked creatively or independently for a long time... how do you deal with this without losing momentum or confidence in what you’re doing?

Lately I’ve been thinking about a frustrating phase many creative people go through when you can clearly recognize what “good” looks like, but your own work still doesn’t match your standards.

In a strange way, your eye improves before your hands do. You start noticing weak compositions, average writing, poor execution, shallow ideas — but at the same time, you become painfully aware of the gap in your own work too.

I used to think this feeling meant I wasn’t talented enough. Now I feel it may actually be part of growth.

Curious if others here have experienced this phase in art, design, music, writing, or any creative field.
