I think that that deserves double applause! Melissa - I love that you use your freelancing to write what you want to write. Right now, I am so focused on the almighty dollar that I forget there are topics out there that could give me a job and fulfill my personal goals.

Somewhere, in the midst of all that, I have to be a wife to my husband and mother to my three kids, one, of whom, is with me 24/7. On top of all that, I have recently applied for two other paid blogging positions that will most likely come to fruition in the next few months, adding another 10-15 hours of work in addition to what I am already doing. With that said, my main goal as a freelancer is to write what I want to write. I try to query one or two new articles a month and so far, I have been able to do that. It helps, I suppose, that I am incredibly anal and stick to a rigid schedule. I am a workaholic, and I have to be careful to balance my work as a writer and my work as a wife/parent. It's easy for writing to consume me. As of now, I have one contract position that keeps me fairly busy (I write anywhere from 10-15 articles a week for online content).

As I'm actually slightly ahead on my deadlines this week, I have taken a day off to work on one of my pet projects. Most of the time, that's hard to do.
