Straight Talk About Your Freelance Writing Career
I had a thought about what most freelance writers want from their lives, so I jotted a few notes down and put them on my WritingLife blog.
How do you plan your freelance writing career? Is it simply about working till your fingers fall off, grabbing every job that comes and feeling a vague sense of dissatisfaction?
Have a look at my initial thoughts and see what you think. I plan to turn this into a longer essay at some point.

I try to strike a balance. I’m fortunate that I don’t need my freelance income to survive since Hubby has a job, so I can say “no” to distasteful assignments. In the end, though, I still feel like I spend 80% of my time looking for work and only 20% of it actually writing.
That’s lucky, Writing For Food. Sometimes I feel that I have to take a particular job to keep the cash flowing. However, a balance is essential. And I think you’re right about the amount of time it takes to search for work. The good thing is that once you have built up some steady relationships, some of the work comes to you.
