Reviewing a freelance writer's first year

Jane Friedman gave up a full-time job for full-time freelancing and managed to boost her income by 50%: "For my first half-year of freelance, I said yes, yes, yes to everything or everyone external. It wasn’t necessarily the wrong thing to do, but it was driven by income anxiety rather than by strategy or what would be an efficient use of my time and energy. It was also driven by lack of confidence that I could succeed and be profitable at things I wanted to pursue."
