syredronningJust found this link in my flist. It's very much fitting to my own experiences and thoughts (including the fears ;)
Little House of Freedoms - Being an Independent Professional
ADDED: This is also great:
Always Ready to Walk
I especially liked this paragraph:
For an IP, there's no such thing as being "unemployed." If you don't have a client project to work on, then you automatically have other projects to work on. Marketing yourself becomes a project. Improving your skills becomes a project. Plotting a new business strategy becomes a project. This is bad? Nonsense. This is good.
Looking at my downtime this Nov-Dec, I badly needed it, and it's doing me a lot of good. I've already earned some money for January, and a very old invoice will very probably be paid in February. So in January I will do some serious marketing without the pressure of having to produce instant income. Yay :)
