These days, all we hear about is that the industry is in trouble. Everybody is so scared, but our mission statement is having no fear.
For 10 years, I'd been working as a freelance writer and editor, making money but not a living. It was a good arrangement family-wise, allowing me to stay home with our daughter, but not so great financially or, sometimes, ego-wise.
So it's really nice after about a year and a half to get back on stage and flex those old muscles.
