I have a nice grouping of 10 easy to do paid writing jobs in my work basket today. These are all from the one company in the US that I have been receiving writing assignments from ever since I first contacted them almost three years ago. They give me great ethical assignments and understand that I will not write endorsements for diet pills and tobacco products and do not do adult only posts. I think as a writer you have to establish who you write for at the start, before asking for work.
This work basket full is very much appreciated especially after working until 3 am last night sending out feelers for paid travel writing work to assist the winter holiday budgeting along. Freelancing (writing, art, anything) is a bit of a gamble at times but If you plug away consistently, it does happen. Stick with it, when they have work they will remember those who have kept up the promoting even when there wasn't work.
Painting and sculpting was not compatible with my carer role. The writing assisted me over the grief I initially felt at putting aside my first career and it has been a lot of hard work changing career's at this end of life but this one 'works' with the carer job :-) and I'm loving it if not always the long hours involved.
