		<description>Hi Bob, 

I just wrapped up the final version of a press release for a client. I was taking a few moments to relax and read for fun when I found your article on Digg. 

I&#039;m in my third year of freelancing. You hit the nail on the head when you said that it does get slightly easier over time. It is well worth the tremendous amount of work in the beginning. I almost gave up a couple of times because the time invested well outweighed the revenue it was producing. Now, I&#039;m  sending work out to other people, haha. Having a good core group of clients is critical to success in this business.

I&#039;ll be checking in frequently. I like your writing style. It&#039;s refreshing. Have fun!</description>

		<description>It appears that the lovely comment I left is not here. Spam? Askimet? The monster beneath the bed? We&#039;ll never know...

You said it, Bob. By the way - those phone calls? I get phone calls now like you wouldn&#039;t believe. And unexpected guests in the middle of the day. Like, for no reason. 

Hallo? I&#039;m working, people. This is not a party.</description>
