I am a free lance writer, it pays worse than any other job in the world. I make less some days than most people make in two hours of work. But I can work from home. I can do what I love to do which is write and thankfully i have someone else looking after the bills so I don't need to rush into...
Believe in them and deal with them often. In fact, I actually have to ward my house against them following people in. No joke otherwise I get random people walking around my house.
