I enjoy the craftsmanship of writing.
I meet lots of interesting new people and they willingly let me cross-examine them.
I write about things I love: planes, technology, business.
I’m directly responsible for all my work.
I have to work 24 hours a day but I get to choose which 24.
No commute.
No employee problems.
If I don’t like an assignment, it’s over soon.
If I don’t like someone I’m working with, there will be another editor, another client soon.
I’m vain enough to enjoy the thought that lots of people read my work and some enjoy it.
