Having a freelance career means Sunday is just as good a day for getting things done as any other; there’s something about doing a little work when most everyone else isn’t that feels good to me. Mostly I think I like the idea that I can work with the inbound flow of emails and phone calls and news being slowed to a relative trickle.
Also, the Sunday newspapers have different sections and details that are ripe sources for new projects. Two parts of the paper I always check out: local opinion and community kudos (or some such theme). They both will highlight pertinent local topics and organizations; you find contacts for present projects and best of all a heads up on cool topics that should be written about in more depth for some publication/organization.
Good writers are avid readers. The local news deserves to be on your reading list as a constant source of opportunities.
