The successful freelancer in the wild has to have a great sense of humour, it’s a simple necessity if you want survive.

To write is to learn. For those who write for a living, it’s a given that you need to be constantly learning about “stuff” and “things”.

Welcome back Timmy, I see you’ve been putting those well-earned copying skills to good use on the internet.

As a successful freelancer you should never under-price your services.

Now as a freelance writer you’re not in the business of sinking/boarding ships or “liberating” digital media… probably.

The successful freelancer in the wild is also a successful salesperson. Being able to convince clients to commit to a project and part with their money to fund it.

Unless you happen to be luck incarnate, as a freelance/contractor sooner or later you’ll be faced with that oldest of foes “The late/none paying client”. Perhaps the single biggest ender of freelance careers, as even the most frugal and money grabbing of freelancers still has to eat, drink vast amounts of coffee, lose hours a day on the internet and have somewhere to sleep.

The art of forcing my opinions on others via digital media (better known as freelance writing) is something I’ve done for a while now.

The land was cold and unforgiving, no longer held in civilizations warm embrace.

Hey there Timmy, are you looking to become yet another unique snowflake in the social pariah world?
