My Adventure as a Freelancer

I quite my day job three days ago.

In a crazy leap of faith, I have decided to become a freelance writer
to support myself, a college student, through the next three years of
my life. The first trick will be to get past these first two months,
and scrape up next semester's tuition using only my pen.

Come read http://www.theveilaway.com/blog">my blog, as I
continue the daily chronicle of my freelance adventures!

Have you done the research? Have you sold anything yet to demonstrate
that you can do this?

Good luck.

As long as you don't have to eat or pay rent, you have a chance. Tuition?
That's not in the schedule.

Can you take rejection? Can you accept unwanted criticism? Do you have a
rich mentor? Do you know a publisher?

And, finally, can you really WRITE?

Leon, who wishes you well.
