The freelance writer

In medieval days, knights were mercenaries, lending themselves out to feudal lords who needed help in fighting battles. The knights picked up their lances and trotted off into an uncertain future. Hence the term "free lance."
Not much has changed for today's freelance writers. Together, we pick up our lances (pens) and head off to battle, not just against agents and publishers but fears of rejection.
We don't know what lies before us, or even if we'll get paid (something knights didn't have to worry about). Still we persevere. Which proves a well-established fact — we're nuts.
