If you want to make a career of writing, should you look for a full-time job in a company or strike out on your own as a freelancer? I’ve done both and have come to the conclusion that freelancing is what I like best. Just because freelancing is best for me doesn’t mean it’s best for everyone. Good question.

You’ll be relaxing your way to a freelance business that lets you breathe and still pay the bills. There are a lot of freelancers who have trouble saying no (which you haven’t, you’ll note), and they tend to be people-pleasers that want others to like them and think they’re helpful.

Freelancing can be much the same. That’s a good rule of thumb for freelancers to keep in mind, too. Instead of devaluing your work and that of other freelancers, have some respect and charge what you’re worth! Have some standards and hold out for projects that fit them. Rule #2: It takes two to tango.
