A comment on Lessons from Freelancing. Parent comment

Absolutely - the post wasn't meant to say "money over everything". One of the big reasons I'm freelancing is for the freedom and flexibility that comes with it.

But I still treat it like a job. A job I can take vacations from, or a hiatus from, or whatever - but still something that takes some discipline to succeed at.

I never intended it to sound like freelancing should be un-fun slave labor. That would entirely miss the point.

I was more agreeing with the parent comment than disagreeing with you. Money, marketing, and discipline probably should be bigger parts of my life (definitely in the case of marketing). Getting to see your thoughts and that front has contributed to the gears turning there, and I already sent the article to some of my copywriting/editing freelance friends.
