I only freelanced for a few months before joining a company as a telecommuter. During those few months I literally got brain cramps from all the learning and research. I recently attended a trivia night for a local networking group of people within publishing (editors, writing, whatever)-- sure enough, the freelance writers always had the answers!

I love it! It is pretty amazing to sit back and reflect on all the things you've had to learn as a writer, and it's fun to use all the trivia and knowledge in casual conversation. Great post, Tamara! <em>Melissa Donovan's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WritingForward/~3/233085797/how-to-use-a-semicolon' rel="nofollow">How to Use a Semicolon</a></em> An ode to the freelance writer… I love it!

Research skills are a huge part of that, I can´t tell you how many times I´ve said, "Sure, I can write about that" without having a clue what the client was talking about! A few of my "know-nothing-about" topics have included modular home building, bodybuilding, energy mouth spray (which I would really like to get my hands on!), and microdermoabrasion, among many others. Your reference to getting stuff done in the seconds while kids brush their teeth or the baby watches tv . . . so true. Now that I have two active little guys, it´s pretty hard to find a moment to write without someone tugging at my pant leg or trying to crawl into my lap with "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" :D But it´s such a great job!
