You know you’re a freelance writer when….

You get responses to queries you don’t remember sending

You obsessively read the job boards even though you have no time for new projects

You assume clients wont pay until they’ve come through three times, on time

You type a thousand words without looking at the clock

You wake up with the biggest smile of your life, every single morning because you’ve left the rat race forever

You’re thankful to Deb and Jodee because you now have a career, and not just a hobby

When you mute the phone while listening because the dog is barking or the kids are yelling and then remember you’re talking with your mother. Or maybe that’s just me.

@ Amanda Nicole: I went to Staples today and for the first time, I really noticed the way the store smelled. (No, I wasn’t walking around sniffing everything…)It was pretty good, actually, LOL!

…when you check your inbox for client feedback before you pee in the morning.

Also, I know I’m a freelancer because I’m still asleep instead of being up laughing at those heading off to work in the morning.

This gave me a good laugh!
