Why chase after freelance work?
Money - there IS money. Maybe not tons, but you will get paid. Where? Demandstudios.com. They handle payment through paypal. Read all fine print carefully before agreeing to freelance for online work.
Another source is your local paper. Start with what you know and like. Your interest level means articles come off with a three dimensional feel. Contact an editor. If you are having trouble with the main editor, contact the one in charge of your area of interest, eg, the sports editor.
Landing a few freelance gigs forces you to meet deadline. Learning to turn assignments in on time builds a I can do this attitude so important when you set.
Besides money, you learn invaluable lessons about the entire writing process.
Meeting deadlines are important, but you learn to quickly construct outlines, rough drafts, rewrites, final products, and...you learn to deal with an editor.
Quickly jot down notes, an outline, and preliminary research. Research isn't limited to non-fiction. Knowledge provides realism and confidence in your writing.
Interviewing. Yes, I said interviewing. Most non-freelance work involves interviewing. Learning how to ask the right questions, and put them into articles provides you with tools you can carry over to your action adventure writing. How? Learning to deal with editors, their guidelines, requirements, work ethics, publishing procedures, etc. benefits in numerous ways. Non-fiction editors are similar to fiction editors.
Knowing how to write in the particular voice of the publication, and being able to alter your own style for a particular publication can help you when it comes to looking at your action adventure stories in a character's point of view.
All of these lessons help to smooth out your writing process during any writing project.

"A writing symposium I attended came up with these suggestions for writing action: (1) The action must advance the story -- no gratuitous fighting. (2) Short action scenes work better than long ones. Too much action numbs reader sensititivity. (3) Resolve the action. Unresolved action frustrates the reader," says Doug Rainbow |
