It worked out because my direct boss was a friend and she didn't want to be there anymore than I did. And because I wasn't on staff, I could split in between the jobs we had booked. I did this for nearly 2 years. Eventually I got really sick of it and put all my energy into becoming a writer. This worked out well, I still had the video editing paychecks and had some clients on the side. Eventually I clawed my way into travel and lifestyle writing and stopped video editing cold turkey. I miss the story telling elements of editing, but not the grueling hours of advertising and working on national commercials. I was a permalancer back when I was a video editor.
