Hi -- I am looking into working harder to build my freelance reputation, doing small pieces about one a month. Most Ph.Ds become consultants, using their knowledge to boss other people around -- er, I mean, to share the benefit of our wisdom with others and get paid for it. Ha, ha.

It's pretty hard to self-market, though, on the way out of a serious depression, especially when my self-esteem has never been that great. The "corporate image" has never been Me.

The hardest thing for me is follow-through. I get so tired, and feel defeated at the least sign of discouragement.
