Blogging Hiatus

Please read today's post on my Meta blog, which explains my recent absence from these pages.

Freelance Freefall

Will the current economic crisis help freelancers, or hurt them?

It feels to me like the times are hurting everyone, even those in supposedly safer areas. For example, lots of nurses are losing their jobs even as we have a nursing shortage. Why? Because our economic system is not functioning properly.

Here's someone else's blog post, with savvy comments on this subject:

Isn't it a moot point, though? You can be a success while everyone around you falls, and fail with your best work while others sail by. Statistics don't really matter, ultimately. It's all or nothing, either you're making it or you're not. At least it seems so to me.

Enjoy the ride.
