Do I give up freelancing or do I keep going?

I would really like to take a break from freelancing and work a full-time job. I realize I will never quit freelancing completely. But I have been trying to steer away from it, I swear! Maybe it's an addiction without a twelve step program at the present time. Maybe someday there will be help for us freelancers, but not today.

I have started interning for Organic Processing Magazine and am enjoying it very much. So far I've done a tiny bit of writing and lots of proofreading. So I've gotten to indulge my anal-retentive and detail-oriented side with the proofreading while delving into the world of Organic Processing. I never knew how much effort went into organic foods and getting them to our table. I will definitely become even more of an organic consumer than I already am. (Kashi Cinnamon Harvest Cereal -- highly recommend it).

Another bright spot in my week so far is that I just found out I'm going to cover two Mana concerts here in Phoenix for Batanga.com! I love Mana so I can't wait!

In interest of breaking out and doing my own thing, or at least working towards it as a music journalist, I am crowning myself "The Music Stalker" and purchased:

TheMusicStalker.com
TheMusicStalker.net
TheMusicStalker.info

Also check out TheMusicStalker.blogspot.com.

I will eventually want to break off from Suite101.com, which is great, but I'll have to grow up and out of dues paying at some point. So I'm starting my transition now. There are other ideas I have for The Music Stalker, so stay tuned.

This is only just beginning...
