It seems that it is either feast or famine in the freelance world, so your income has to cover the famine times... and the only way to do that is to Plan for it...

It all helps generate awareness of you and credibility for your work.

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:59:51 +0000 http://leahpeah.com/blog/posts/2008/02/1111#comment-4075 I was picking a freelancer's brain the other day about the how's and money, etc. Personally, I could never do freelance for a living because I'm anal retentive about money. I like getting paid regularly and having some security. Obviously I could get fired in 25 minutes but it's not like writing where if I don't send out a good enough query or enough queries in general, then I'm completely screwed. Basically, I'm completely chicken about the entire thing and think freelancing is good for some people. A lot of people even, just not me.

Mine have a nasty way of creeping up on me. In my mind the balance is always a manageable $200 or so -- then the bill comes and surprise! I was just one zero short. so true, especially the part about the credit cards. Mine have a nasty way of creeping up on me.
