katakatica Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) So... I admit this is written in a slight hurry as I was about to start preparing for going out (looks like it will be a celebratory lunch, though I think we're just getting Swedish food lol!) Since 2017, I've been on Fiverr (which, admittedly is...a while. Not too long, not too short, I guess.) I started out as a fairly rookie writer with mostly fanfic-writing experience (a ton of it, and I knew how to 'please' my readers, so there's that) but it was mostly just a 'I'll write for some extra cash while I try to get a new job'. And I made plenty of mistakes over the years. Had no idea how to manage orders at some time (mostly a 'I think I can write 5000 words in a day 7 days a week without crashing) manner, and some 'I was fooled/I fooled myself thinking that I could do x and y when it was not something I was capable of way. So... I have loads of cancellations. Loads. Which is exactly why, as much as I WANTED it, becoming TRS didn't really seem like an option. Well, this morning I was proven wrong and if I tell you that I SCREAMED on the top of my lungs (my boyfriend was very confused, I always called TRS as 'getting the star' for some reason so he had no idea what was going on)... I know that it's just 'another level' but to me it really shows just how far I've come. From fumbling about, a good writer but that's it to a person who works on games, who HAS the time (and money) to buy/play games and just in general... Somewhat accomplished, I guess. I'm bouncing off the walls to be honest, finding it kind of hard to believe but... I guess the stars ARE the limit. (and now, I will go back to the last few days of my vacation, because I'm trying to enjoy the Swedish spring summer while it lasts! (eventually, I will write an actual 'story' story about the ups and downs of stuff, but I just wanted to share my joy haha!)

miiila Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Congos, congress, congarats, congrats, and congratulations! I'm sure you've worked hard enough for it, enjoy your joy. And the Swedish food. Well, I may be a bit late for the last bit, unless you're having a very late lunch today, as I just did (espresso, no sugar, of course ;)), but anyway. 🙂 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ended up being Szechuan food because the Swedish place didn't have what we went there for (Snitchzels!). Definitely ended up celebrating though with a slightly too-hot dish! (as in, the single spiciest dish I've had in Sweden. Apparently... it really WAS a Szechuan place!) On 7/16/2022 at 8:30 AM, melanielm said: Big congratulations!

donnovan86 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Congrats and many conga rats to you 🙂 I wish you all the best, and I recommend keeping those stats, I lost the TRS badge due to health reasons and it still hurts 🙂 Enjoy the TRS status and to many more orders 🙂 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I... did work hard, but I also get to do what I love for a living so it's a pretty fair bargain! 9 hours ago, donnovan86 said: Congrats and many conga rats to you 🙂 I wish you all the best, and I recommend keeping those stats, I lost the TRS badge due to health reasons and it still hurts 🙂 Enjoy the TRS status and to many more orders 🙂 See, I - am - slightly terrified. I was away for the end of June, only part-time until basically next Tuesday so the fact that I got the badge in what seems like the 'slowest' month so far (it will NOT be as I have a LOT of work piled up...) is pretty crazy haha. I hope to see you re-join the 'club' soon as well! I'm sure that at some point you'll get back in! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha – by now I'm sure you understand that you have become at least 200% more talented since you made that comment – practically overnight. Ok, maybe not. What has happened, is you being recognized for the amazing talent that you are. The timing was certainly funny! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyasr Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Congratulation! You have no idea who I am, but I always read your comments here on Fiverr Forum, and I actually learned a lot of useful information from your comments. And your achievement is the best motivation to keep developing, keep working, keep learning! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I've replied to this! I've seen you around a bit actually! I'm so glad you've learned some stuff from my (often rambly) posts! And also in general, just thanks 😄 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
