Thanks Audrey for starting up this thread.
As a person who hasn't decided yet whether to become a freelance writer or not I will be interested to hear writers' stories
I am currently a student and I'm still thinking of the field I will be most comfortable to work in. But I do enjoy writing
I don't remember the actual moment I discovered that I like to write. When I was a teen, I had my diary and I remember a thrillin feeling of joy when I wrote down something in my diary. Then I went to university and found that I like to write articles on art issues to our university newspaper. That is probably one of things I love most of all in my life!

Hi, all

Here is my story

About 7 years I spent sitting in the publishing house. I liked my job and everything was good.  I also have an old friend who became freelance writer soon after university and made fantastic progress in this field.  We had regular meetings and each time I had a feeling that I’m moving in wrong direction.  Every month this feeling was getting stronger and stronger. I started to write several articles for other customers from outside.  In 2 years after I started part-time freelancing I had dozens of happy customers and was surprised by amount I earned. About 3 years ago I made a decision to quit my publisher and shifted to full-time freelancing. And now I do not regret about my decision. I’m free, independent and happy!

Have a nice weekend
