I am a freelance designer, but I actually do a few other jobs a few hours a week to get that weekly income coming in (as invoices from clients can take 15 days or longer to come in). So actually I teach casually at a university a few days a week and I also work in a completely different field...as a kinder assistant for 10 hours a week. I actually like the variety and it suits my personality, as I like to do lots of different things...otherwise I get bored. Working two other jobs actually gives me that security I need to keep on freelancing :) .-= Sim´s last blog ..<a href="http://girlstartup.posterous.com/nommu-wordpress-blog-theme-sneak-peak-feedbac" rel="nofollow">Should I release this Nomuu Wordpress Theme or just give a sneak peak?</a> =-.

I don't do any ghostwriting (I've nothing against it, it's just not an area I wanted to specialise in). A couple of great chaps who do are Sean Platt and David Wright over at http://ghostwriterdad.com/ -- they've got a blog aimed at ghostwriters, so that might help you out?
