Re: How do you pay the bills?
I used to be a full time freelance writer, but found the endless need to hustle for new work so time consuming and stressful, that I was better of just getting a mindless service industry gig with good tips. I've found the simple fact that I could go to my job, make enough money to pay my bills and never have to think about work once I get home, incredibly helpful in allowing me to just focus on the writing I care about. I still do a little freelance work on the side, but in no way is it as time consuming as it was before. Plus, I've found that in no longer being a full time freelance writer, my vitality for writing has increased ten-fold. After all, if you're writing all day, how on earth can you find the energy to write?
