Because there are plenty o' non-writers who read this blog... my father included (you can't hide, dad, I know you're an anonymous commenter!) I thought I should point you over to Shelley's blog because she has a cool post about what it is like to be a freelance writer.

There are many days when I consider making the leap... afterall I managed to do it for a bit and stay home with my son until he was two and a half. But we had no money. SO, out of a desire to not raise my son in a cardboard box, I took a Real Job. Thankfully I have a good Real Job that I like and I make enough money to stay above the poverty line.

But there is always that desire to do what you LOVE, to do what leaves you fulfilled in the long run. And I say 'in the long run' because I don't think that there is anything in this world that doesn't have it's ups and downs. There are many moments when I feel just like Shelley's post said.. I feel as though every thing I write is crap and I'll never write another word. But overall it is fulfilling.

One day soon I will take that leap...
