You're a fine writer and if it remains your passion, just keep plugging along. 30 years ago I was told what a risk I was taking in my own profession. Well, 30 years later I'm still doing it and living just fine. If you want it bad enough it will happen. I wish you all the best.

When I say I work in "social media" I get this weird reaction where people think that my job is something made up like professional candy taster.....

Freelancing, copy writing and often a combination of both have been around for roughly as long as modern journalism has. <br /><br />It is an unstable economy, that's for sure. But it is far from the most unstable we, as a nation, has seen. There is an ebb and flow that occurs. It sucks. Without a structured work system in place though- as rocky as it may be- there would be no one to buy the crafts, or the copy. it all works together. Bohemians have been finding their own way- outside of government/corporate structure- selling their arts and writings for longer than America has been a country. I know you weren't saying that you guys are the first people to make such bold choices- I just want to point out that although I'm in my 30's- I remember being a small girl whose mom made a living selling knitted goods and making chocolates while her ex-hippy friends found their own ways following their passions.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505420894898738638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-31425804047655303652011-10-25T12:38:04.178-05:002011-10-25T12:38:04.178-05:00i'll be honest-- the main reason why i can'...i'll be honest-- the main reason why i can't fathom doing what you're doing is because i (through stupid decisions to move here and difficult decisions to stay) i live in one of the most expensive cities in the united states. perhaps the world. i would be ENTIRELY dependent on my fiance to support me if i didn't have this day job. i rely on him to purchase big, fancy things for us; i can live quite comfortably alone on my "regular" salary, but could never even pay rent on a place if i just freelanced. there was a time when the world was open to me and i could have moved some place less expensive and easier to pursue writing... but then i met my fiance 2 weeks before i planned on leaving. stupid fate.emily @ the happy homehttp://www.happyhomeblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
