This is a fantastic idea! Such a good way to promote the skills of these amazing bloggers. I’m also a freelance writer alongside my InvisiblyMe blog, but it’s very, very difficult getting any work. It’s harder still when you’re trying to work while having so little time where you’re well enough to, so well done to everyone here that is trying so hard to make it work. xx
Coming from my own experience of having re-designed my professional life due to permanent chronic pain and its associated limitations, i have a huge admiration and respect for those who have transformed their fate into service. This directory adds to that acknowledgement – wonderful initiative!
