Oh...that worry free attitude has come and gone, and now I must face the real world again.
I'm really frustrated with my financial situation, i.e. the lack of funds. It's like I'm not making any progress toward saving anything. I'm living check by check and I only get checks when I get a gig which is almost never now. I doesn't look like I'm going to be able to freelance much longer. It has completely taken it's toll on my financial portfolio. Looks like I'm going to have to find another way to break into this field. Looks like I'm going to have to go the fund my own extremely low-budget projects, and hope that what I put out is good enough for my name to get out.
I've sacrificed a lot and I really don't think that I can move forward anymore without taking back some of the things I gived up. For example, I haven't bough new cloth in over three years, now they are completely falling apart, my shorts are all ripped, my shoe/flip-flops all have holes, and my shirts are just plain worn out.

Ouch, I've been there.
Who do you freelance with now? Is it just one place? I doubt that, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
Also, have you considered freelancing in similar, but not completely the same, fields? Like events and stuff? There's a few companies you could freelance for in the area in that field. I mean, it won't be as good on the resume, but it'll bring in more money.
I pretty much freelance for companies that come into town and are looking for help. Most of the local company already have their regulars and I haven't been able to break in them so far.
I have made a lot of connection this summer and I'm hoping that it will help me with the local companies.
yes i have thought of working events, but have yet to commit myself to them. I'm still trying to live the dream, and the dream usually mean keeping my schedule as open as possible for potential last minute gigs.
