Response to Brandon Mitchells post on freelance writing

I liked your reference to Spiderman for a description of freelance writing. I can see how the freeing lifestyle of getting to write what you want when you want can be, especially if you have have need of extra time for super hero endeavors. I am obligated to point out that while freelance writing or photographing does support these ends, Superman does hold done a set position as a reported and manages to maintain his super hero lifestyle. Super heroes aside, I can see how being a freelancer could provide a source of incentive to work harder when the prospect of your paycheck size directly correlates to the amount of time and effort put into your writing. I think though that it can be freeing if you are successful, but if you don't get many pieces published, it could be the source of a lot of stress and frustration as well.
