I have just got a very interesting newsletter from an entrepreneur writer who write about many unconventional ideas. The newsletter I got is about how to pursue your passion of writing and make a living in the economic crisis at the same time:

The Writer's Guide to Money and Passion

Some more tips from him here

Hope that help for anyone who have a thought about living as a freelance writer.

Thanks RainWanderer, I ahd been thinking about this topic only for awhile. But I think my work is not too great to get published.

You can post your work on a blog, or a social network to get people know you and your writing. Then after that, depends on the readers' opinions, you can decide:

1. You could go on and making a living out of it by asking them to donate for you so you can live and continue to write :D
2.Just continue writing for the fun of it and let people read for free. Who knows, someone might be nice and want to give you some gifts for you being so nice, giving them quality writing for free.

In both case, you would get your name out there, and it is always a good thing for any kind of business.
