TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I am just curious. I am working as a technical writer, full time, for a
company and I am ok with it. I am curious though about freelancing.
Those of you who freelance, do you find that your time is more flexible,
and that you have more time to do the things that you would like to do
(like maybe take a month's worth of vacation)? Or do you find that you
have to take jobs because you never know where the next paycheck is
coming from? Can you share some of the up and down sides of
freelancing?
