Re: I'm taking my marbles and going home...
I would also point out that once you start publishing articles in magazines and newspapers, you gain credibility. That often leads to work. A benefit is that if a corporation seeks out a well known writer, they are inclined to believe that you will charge top rates.
That's what happened to me. As a journalist, I phoned up someone to get a quote, and he mentioned a venture in which he was involved that needed a writer. The next thing I knew, I had the best job I ever had, at the best rate I ever had.
