Good luck in everything. I know that you'll be able to put together a freelance career for yourself. I've been very lucky with my freelancing and had a couple good steady clients when I made the leap but in many ways it hasn't been as freeing as I imagined. I end up working and worrying as much if not more than when I had a job. Granted I like working in my pjs, making the decisions instead of having them made for me and building something of my own. However my idea that I'd have more time for my own work hasn't ever panned out. Perhaps for someone more organized and disciplined or willing to take on less work, I dunno. It's a difficult tight-rope. I'm still trying to figure it out after two years. :) It’s very true. Good luck in everything. I know that you’ll be able to put together a freelance career for yourself.

I quit my job in late 2006 to go freelance, and your prose is spot-on: the ungraceful walk, the uncertainty, the shame. The idea of the absolute freedom being somewhat paralyzing; the necessity to walk the walk... it's all so true! All the best to you. This is a great post.
