A clear-eyed look at freelancing that replaces the “be our own boss” fantasy with the messy, unpredictable reality tech writers must understand before going solo
Outstanding. Absolutely true, simply and effectively written, and - surprise - relevant to almost any field, not just tech writing. Take it from one who did it (along with numerous side gigs) for 21 years . Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this article! I relate deeply with this piece. Being a freelancer is extremely hard in so many ways, but I feel it also comes with a lot of stigma. Although I’m not so sure if it’s more linked to personal beliefs or more of a system issue. I just posted an article around this perspective. Please feel free to give it a read 💫 https://marielagodi.substack.com/p/i-am-a-wavelength-of-disciplines?r=3yss84&utm_medium=ios
