Response to Rich Bowers

I have to agree with you regarding how difficult it must be to get into freelance writing. You are probably right when you stated that you have to start by writing stuff that will get printed. A freelance writer obviously has to build some sort of reputation to gain the type of freedom that allows them to write about what they love. I am sure it is not an easy path to get to that point, but once you get there I imagine it is extremely rewarding.
