I am working on a series of teleseminars and information products on starting out in business in the hope that in time these could generate sufficient residual income to not have to have a day job so often.

The random hours, which produce random pay. The publisher who changes his mind constantly and expects extra content for the original cost... The uncertainty of it all... And writing a post for others you would really prefer to write for yourself (except it probably won't produce the same rewards...) I'm sure others will post here about how they organise their days as freelance writers. I guess it can be done (and at the same time as keeping your momentum to write intact), but it is something I still struggle with. But then I am not well organised. It can pay though. But that takes time and loads of hard work and, whatever others will tell you, it does take you away from your family and lifestyle. Guess that wasn't quite what you wanted to hear... Sorry! :) Oh, I understand this so well!
