I stumbled through 33 years as a freelance, and understand the insecurity, but I have now completed ten years of Karma Yoga in a 'job' and have learned enough about how other people spend <I>most of their lives</I> to begin to appreciate the freedom I had before (in spite of the occasional fear about bio-survival tickets).<BR/><BR/>I intend to rearrange that lengthy side column again, to<B> bring contributor's and their blogs back to the top</B> - because I feel we need more people to believe they can use the place - saving Drafts backstage, tweaking, editing, reposting and enjoying our looser approach, instead of the 'deadline anxiety' of contributing to the quarterly magazine.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, the great Fergus just sent me an unsolicited piece for MQ#14.<BR/><BR/>It may still happen!
