heh yeah, I know that finding work as a freelance writer can be tough, only because so many online companies are looking for non-fiction writers and I'm best with certain topics when it comes to non-fiction. I'm a fiction writer, mainly. But since I started doing my own stuff, it's been different, sometimes I will work for a subcontract, and write what the person wants, be efficient and get paid only upon delivery of what I've written. Finding work requires a CV and showing skills. When we create our own work in between jobs, it makes it easier to show how active we are and the work we create regardless whether we are getting paid or not, creating work to find better work.

I've encountered many people like that person, who want work, want easy money, but are unwilling to work for it.
