"I love my job. The best parts include working from home and the pay (good but no benefits). But getting paid to do something I enjoy anyway is fantastic! And they give me lots of wiggle room to be as creative as I want to be. The worst part is that, as a contractor, I don't get any benefits. And sometimes working at home feels isolating."

"Think about ways you can set yourself apart from other writers and editors. Try to take creative writing courses to help give your writing an edge. Even though I work for an IT company, I work in the marketing department, which seldom requires a lot of technical writing or understanding. Therefore, it helps to think of creative ways to share a message and create a strong call to action. Also, before you choose a work-from-home job, truly consider if that's what you want. Can you stand to only contact your team over instant messaging or e-mail, or the occasional phone call? Will you feel isolated? Can you be disciplined enough to actually work when you should be, rather than being distracted by things in your home?"
