hey good stuff :)
make sure you have a really good system in place for working so you don't go "awesome! xbox and THEN I'll do freelancing"
or it will be allll over :D truust me, I would know.

yup, a rigorous schedule is not an option in full-time freelance. Make friends with a good day-planner/calendar, and stick to it.

yeah ive been working freelance as a side business to my job for about 1.5 yrs now and its been ok, i do take breaks to play video games but its only when im drained for ideas...ive been able to be pretty displine during those times lets hope it continues....im pretty excited i got a few projects going already...my old work called they are pretty pissed, i didnt give them much notice...like a day but i did that only cause a few months ago the creative director said i should switch careers...shes a terrbiel designer just ask canuck.

- fooler0
i would have told her I was going to to change careers into a career serial killer

yeah it was pretty mean coming from her since i know i may not be the best but im decent and have alot of good ideas, shes been doing the same thing for 6 years and she doesnt even use pantones, we didnt have a pantone book in the damn office, she also told me we didnt need them since our monitors are good. Man I have so many stories of shit shes done, I can go on all day...also I wrote a nice resignation letter to her and the response I got back was your position wasn't going to be available to you anyways for very long. anyways, I didnt bother responding....i offered to train the new guy for a few hours after 5 but now I will even bother.

I don't see anything on your website that wouldn't make you look completely employable...
that's weird.

I did that a bout a year and a half ago. I got a 3 month severance from my old job, then proceeded to play video games and work out and sleep for about 2 months. Then I decided to try and get my freelance up and going... and I fell on my ass.
