When it is late at night and I am not quite ready to go to bed but I don't want to get involved in work or reading a novel, I troll the net for all things freelance and editing related. But I am disappointed by the lack of blogs and cool sites devoted specifically to freelance copy editors. I have listed some good sites in my links lists on the right side of this blog. Almost every other site I find talks of freelance writing or freelance Web design or freelance graphics ... things that don't relate to what I want to focus on here, topics that don't hold my interest most of the time.

I suppose I could add freelance writing to my business plan, but I don't write in that sense. I much prefer working with text that is already written. I wonder if freelance writing is just "where it's at," where most people find they make the most money, or if it's more common because it can become a first freelance business without the same "style manual" application experience.

I'm fine with what I do and what I make right now. At least, I think I am. Let's see what happens with this first tax return. *crosses fingers that quarterly payments were enough*

... and that's what grinds my gears. Tom?
