I'm still working on becoming a freelancer. My industry (mortgage broker) makes it incredibly difficult to go out on your own especially at a young age so I'm working on building other skills off the clock that are more in demand in the freelance world (copywriting, editing, etc.).
It's all about balance and it sounds like you are well on your way to finding a great balance there @hitmeasap.
Yeah, I'm trying to find a good balance between both freelancing and steemit.. And it feels like I'm doing a pretty good job so far. However, I still spend a few more hours on Steemit than I probably should at this point.. But it's so addictive! :D
