Some revealing info about the life of one online freelance writer

Why do I feel lucky? 

• I get paid to do what I love to do. Writing is a much loved hobby that has turned into a part time source of income.
• I write for clients all around the world. Thanks to the internet, I can be writing for someone in the UK in the morning, then whizz over to Australia in the afternoon and finish up in the USA by dinner time!
• I help others to do the same with my Squidoo lenses. I love to be in the position where I can share my writing knowledge with others who want to write.
• I am now able to write full time. It got to the stage where I had very little free time. I worked full time four days a week (long days) and wrote for the other three. My income for writing in my spare time eventually matched my full time income, so I finally took the plunge and now I've been full time for three months. And it feels great!
• I am fulfilling a childhood dream. I remember asking mum for a story idea when I was around five years old, so I guess I had it in me even then...
  
  

5 of the best things that writing has given me 

1. Freedom. I can now do it full time and set my own hours. What could be better than that?
2. Knowledge. I can write about all kinds of things and become more knowledgeable as a result.
3. The ability to research. This isn't something that everyone thinks about, but researching skills are vital if you want to be a good writer.
4. Money! I wouldn't be honest if I didn't put this one down. It beats every other job I've ever had.
5. Enjoyment. Probably the best thing that writing could ever give me, to be honest. I love what I do, and that's a great thing to be able to say about your job.
