I started freelancing when it became obvious I was a failed novelist. I'd written five novels that no agent wanted. I was penniless in a foreign country. I felt envious of wealthy American tourists. Editors paid me 30¢ a word to enjoy tourist activities and review restaurants. – at Los Cabos, Baja California Sur
