Very fun. I am still awed at how much time goes into a freelance writing career. I thought I could do it sucessfully after 10 yrs as a journalist and easily make a living while caring for 2 toddlers. I'm still not sure which job is harder. Great post! Very fun. I am still awed at how much time goes into a freelance writing career.

Freelancing is all about being flexible and making the most of what you have; NOT prima dona behaviour. Lu LOL, this is a GREAT reminder to all Freelancers in every business.

The key message here? Earning a living as a freelance writer is HARD WORK. But, it's also a great life -- and well worth the effort! Steve George:

Great post indeed. I totally agree and sometimes it is no wonder why some freelance writers never make decent money. It really isn't hard to up your earnings if the will to work hard on your business is there. In regards to rates, I always use a flexible rate structure and have clients in many pay levels because if I'm not fully booked I rather serve a low paying client and see him/her return than demand my usual rates and be without work. :) Monika Hahaha, love the irony George!
