I am fascinated in other freelancers work spaces and what they actually use every day while working for themselves. I sent around a batch of emails to many different types of freelancer including web designers, photographers, and illustrators. I think a pleasant working environment is so important as a freelancer. You need to want to work at your desk on your own for a full days work at least five days a week. Read the rest of this entry »
