Your post on Bali and digital nomad life was one of the better things I’ve read online in the past 6 months. Honest, entertaining, aware. If anyone here hasn’t read that one yet, check it out. Makes you think in all the right ways.

Thanks for sharing Alice! I'm in year six of freelance writing and still managing many of the same juggling acts that you are, but overall agree that it is a bit of a dream job. I've got freelancer friends who are thrilled to add a couple hundred a month to the family coffers and others who are cruising toward a quarter million this year... Best to find what works for us and let the comparisons fall to the side once we get what we need from them. Cheers to year 5 for you!

Hey Alice, congratulations on your 4th year as a writer ! I loved reading about your experience. Quick question from a girly still trying to figure life out : what made you realize that was the path you wanted to take ?

Alice, I enjoyed so many things about this issue of Internetly, especially the ups and downs of freelancing. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your world.

Loved this line 'Don’t forget why you wanted to become a writer. As Neil Gaiman says: “Leave the world more interesting for your being here.”

Why I write: as an essayist/memoirist, I like feeling less alone and writing and reading other people's work makes me feel less lonely. It's very therapeutic, and something about Internetly makes me feel the same way!
