Freelancing's funny. (Not.) One week you're reading Facebook and the next you're finishing up a quick, out-of-the-blue assignment, before heading off to make copies of your essay in a literary quarterly that was delivered to your door yesterday evening, when an e-mail arrives from the e-book publisher you'd nearly forgotten about with your edited story attached for your perusal. All this the day before you leave on a trip.
