This was an interesting article about your time as a freelance salesman, Barry. I had 17 years as a clerk in the railway department and then 10 years working in a University library. I had to give up work and move to be closer to my aging parents and help care for them. Then my wife had an accident at work and I had to become her carer. I need to find a way to supplement the meagre amount I received so decided to look at freelance writing. Most of my work is as a ghostwriter for children's books, and poetry and blurbs for businesses etc. There are so many different types of freelancing though .. artists, website developers, book cover design, voice over etc.
