Freelance Writing Not a Great Career Move
Ben Yagoda wrote "My Life as a Hack - It was glorious. Now it's over." in Slate.
Its a precautionary tale about the decline and fall of freelance writing. Not that the writing has gone downhill - just that magazines aren't paying enough money to make it a viable career option.
Chalk this up as more proof that my fantasy careers are best left to dreamland. (Other fantasy careers include fulltime peace activist and Creator of Viable Movements for Social Change and singer and actress...the final one being a dream given up long ago in high school when I was firmly told I had no acting abilities.)
