Finding Your Niche as a Freelance Writer
Navigating the trials and tribulations of discovering your specialty as a writer is basically one big game of throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks.

Write Now, Edit Later
As your caffeine-induced writing binge draws to a close, you shake the 90-words-per-minute keystrokes off your hands and wipe your brows. Phew!

Quite the opposite ends up happening to us freelancers, actually.
