No, not at all.
As a freelance writer, I am at the mercy of the decisions of my employers, and opportunities come and go without warning.
I really enjoyed writing my features for the AB, and would be delighted to take up my post again, but I appreciated that our roles were conceived to generate interest in a new website, and once that was established, the owners decided - correctly - that the site would run purely with its Q & A input.
The nature of freelance writing is that an apparentlyu secure post can vanish over night, and you simply enjoy the experience, and in my case, because I freelance part-time and write in leisure hours - never rely on the money, it may suddenly stop!
