Your post is very confusing. I find it difficult to know what you are trying to tell. 😅

I think you’re confusing the word ‘gig’ with the word ‘order’.

A gig is the the service you offer. An order is the contract made for you to do the work.

As for what I do when I have no orders, depends. Self-improvement, hobbies, personal projects, housework, other things that need doing…

I thought the same but these lines are very confusing:

I the only one who working on a gigs just for training? or what do you do with all the free time between gigs ?

As far as I can tell, ‘training’ is a stand in word for ‘practice’. So:

Am I the only one who challenges themselves with practice orders?

It’s great that you practice your skill, you can also use that practiced work to show in gig gallery to the buyers.

Hmmm.

Today is currently what I call my “Blog Writing Day” so I am writing blogs for two of my own websites - one I use to promote my freelance services and one to cross promote one of my handful of eBooks.

I’m not normally without a lot to do over here…lol

you could say that 🙂 I am not sure why it is wrong to say training …but okay that might end up learn something new when it come to the English language 😃

I saw you are offering excel sheets so no clue what you can do with your free time,
But being designer , I always spend my free time preparing and improving my portfolio and learning new art style and observing other similar works !

‘Training’ and ‘practicing’ have similar meanings in English, and can often be used as synonyms, so your use (in this case) isn’t wrong. It’s just a rather tricky nuance. ‘Training’ usually has an external or third-party perspective, closer to ‘teaching’, while ‘practice’ is more internal or self-driven, and is closer to ‘rehearse’ or ‘refine’.
