Revelation

Some time has passed and it has given me time to think as I go about my daily routine.
I am working more now, although it's still just a retail job, and certainly nothing I wish to build a career around. However I do now have a better idea of how to go about my true business.
I am finding that I have all the resources I need around me every day. And that something that I find important is right in front of me.
Your friends are your best sources, since they are already established sources to work with. Art is one of the most important foundations of our society. I've come to see that now only is this something that has been staring me in the face for some time, but it may be the perfect starting point for my freelance career.
Freelance Art and culture. This may be the perfect thing to target right now. I already have a line of galleries I'll be attending this Summer. And along with them will be the opportunity to make valuable contacts.
Another major revelation I have made is that I've been going about this whole freelance thing the wrong way. Going to papers and magazines and looking to take on existing freelance jobs is not the way to get published. If I want to get my work out there I have to go out there and find my own stories and sell them to editors, even if in the start I need to volunteer my work for free.
I am still green, i don't know if this is going to work, but I will be damned if I am not going to try!
