When I first became a freelance writer, I had no idea how it would go. I’d heard horror stories from fellow writers about how difficult the freelance lifestyle can be — always chasing clients down for money, not having employer health insurance, and wondering when your next assignment will come down the pike.

But despite the potential drawbacks of working freelance, it’s a lifestyle I really appreciate. Being self-employed gives me the flexibility to earn an income while caring for my kids and tending to household responsibilities.

Of course, that juggling act isn’t always so easy to pull off, and it’s taken time to get into a decent groove.
