Freelance Writing - Why Do We Freelance?

There are a lot wonderful reasons to become a freelance writer. Staying at home to be with the family more, being able to work on your own timescale and because we love to write.

What do you love to write about? I write about many different subjects every day, some of them are exciting and interesting, others are not!

Over the last few days I have been able to write about VOIP – Voice over Internet Protocol, some interesting history articles based around famous sports figures, foreclosure and a few travel tips.

While I love writing, there are a few subjects that I find really difficult to write about. When you are being paid to write, finding it difficult isn’t an option.

Being a freelance writer at home with a one year old can be strenuous at times. The distractions are many and finding the energy can be difficult. One of the best ways that I have found to combat this problem is to remember why you are working from home in the first place.

Here is my reason for working from home...



What's your reason for working from home or wanting to work from home?

I work from home because everyone in our company does! After more than 9 years working in an office, it's very nice to be working from home. Hopefully I'll never have to go back to the old way of working.

I totally agree Ben!

I have tried the 9-5 thing and I knew it wasn't for me a long time ago!

I recently blinked and realized my baby is 12. I have a heck of a commute, so I'd appreciate being closer for him.

I know what you mean. We are having Isabelle's first birthday party today! It doesn't seem like two minutes ago we were bringing her home!

Ive been in the corporate world for 7 straight years now and counting... and it has taken its toll. I dont have a kid yet but i look like i have 5 kids. So i guess working at home would be a refreshing change. Im freelancing part time and waiting for the 1st big step to be a full time homw worker. Just needed that big push i guess...
