One of the hardest truths about making it as a writer is that so much of your time will not actually be spent writing scripts. There's networking, building and maintaining relationships with helpful people, writing those dreaded applications and pitch documents, and obviously all the actual business stuff too - accounts, invoices, taxes...
It can be a scary leap if you've never been a freelancer before, so this episode is all about demystifying that administrative balancing act. How much time we spend writing vs. all the other essential bits of trying to find work as a writer? What's the difference between PAYE, a sole trader and being a limited company? What if I'm an introvert and *really* hate networking?
All this and more, in Tray's favourite episode to date (seriously, it's all he talks about).
(Producers Note - We do mention this in the show itself, but if you're looking for actual financial advice, please seek out a professional accountant and don't just listen to these three self-taught podcasters!)
