Freelance Writing 10.10.08

I missed the lecture on Monday but I have general understanding of what a freelance writer does. Freelance writing is a unique form of journalism. It has its up and downs. I am not much of a write but if I was, this is probably the medium I would like best. The ability to write about what you want, when you want is really enticing. No boundaries, no assignment, just writing about what you find interesting. I guess the downside is that you may not get any work at all. You can get turned down and be broke forever. You probably have to build up quite a reputation and a solid clientele to keep the income flowing in. Even beside the threat of unemployment, writing about what you love sounds a lot more like a career than being a slave to assignments.
