Freelance writing can be the ultimate lifestyle for the right person. Today, more than ever, you can write from anywhere. Laptops are inexpensive and provide more than enough horsepower to get the job done. You can use them at the coffee shop, the library or at your favorite mountain overlook along a hiking trail. Best of all, you can write without leaving the front door. It's the ultimate telecommuting scenario where the bold thrive and even the meek can survive.
