How to be a Freelance Freelance writing and
photography doesn't suit everyone and I would only
recommend it if you feel you can't live any other
way. Having a steady job has lots of advantages even
if you have to put up with fixed working hours and a
neurotic boss. To freelance successfully you will
have to enjoy working by yourself from home and
living on a widely fluctuating income. The job
description of the average freelance calls for
initiative, ideas, motivation, perseverance and luck.
As well as being the creative force behind your
mini-business you will need to be your own secretary,
marketing expert and systems support technician when
your computer crashes. If you are not a proactive
problem solver there will be no one to save you. |

Where to Stay In 1990 I
was commissioned to contribute to a guide to the
charming small hotels of Spain. The brief was to find
around 200 hotels of thirty rooms or less which worth
driving out of your way to stay in. They had to be
special in some way as well as being intimate,
usually family-run places where as much attention was
given to the décor as the service. Even though we
stretched the definition to include many paradors
(certainly not family-run and often impersonal),
larger hotels and hotels which had novelty value but
were not really "charming" we struggled to
fill the guide. |
