What is the aim or goal of your writing:
I have stayed the course. Working as a freelancer is akin to walking on a high wire without a net on a windy day. You have no safety cushion, and there are variables that are totally out of your control. I have always felt that the work is worth doing and I have always been able to focus on opportunities rather than disappointments or rejections.
