Freelance writing

Freelance writing at a glance appears to be a lot of fun. After hearing the lecture on this subject I realized that there is a lot of work involved. Before you can write on the subject of choice you must do plenty of research. Then after you've carefully crafted your written work you have to market it. The prospect of writing pitch letters and soliciting businesses only to be turned down could be quite depressing. I suppose if you love to write you could see it as a challenge. Overcoming this challenge must be a pretty good feeling, especially if it's your first time being published.
