So what am I now?
In February, I started working from home as a freelance writer and editor on contract. I had to get used to providing a new answer when people ask me what I do for a living.
But my answer isn't quite true. As of this month, I've rejoined my old band as the drummer, and we'll be playing at least four shows in March. My income from them may meet or even exceed that from writing and editing.
So what am I? A freelance writer, editor... and drummer?
I guess so, but I don't think I'll put that on my business card.
