I've been working as a journalist for some time and actually I liked it except for dependency on editor. I wish I could find something that would bring me enjoyment and still let me be independent. I like writing and have a lot of interests, so I can write on various topics. I really enjoy doing my work! Thank you in advance!

Well, indeed there are quite many options for you. Being a good writer opens a lot of opportunities. First, look at previous pieces of advice. Really fine ideas! Besides, probably, you can have several activities at the same time. You may be a freelancer and write what you like about. At the same time you may be an online writer. There is a very nice service http://www.essaywriters.net which offers people like you an option to take orders, write and get a good payment. Thus you will get independence you strive for, do what you like (writing) and have a lot of time searching more options for yourself. Luck!

It sounds like you want to get into freelance writing.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Start and Run a Profitable Freelance Writing Business: Your Step- By-Step Business Plan (Self-Counsel Business Series) by Christine A. Adamec
* How to Become a Fulltime Freelance Writer: A Practical Guide to Setting Up a Successful Writing Business at Home (Road Map to Your Writing Career) by Michael A. Banks
* The Well-Fed Writer: Financial Self-Sufficiency As a Freelance Writer in Six Months or Less by Peter Bowerman
* The Freelance Success Book: Insider Secrets for Selling Every Word You Write (Write It, Sell It) by David Taylor
I also posted links to some free articles in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Just a thought, probably a bad one... Could you not slowly start a local magazine whilst working for an editor? My husband is a designer here in France and does not speak French! He started a small events magazine for English speakers in the 64 area (Pyrénées Atlantique - very large area). He hit upon something that there was no provision for and in the second issue (it's every three months) he made a small profit through advertising and it has grown since then. Could you not start something similar? It's just amazing what you can come up with if you look at where you live with new eyes. It also gets you a few freebies to gigs and you get to cross paths with new people. if it's successful you could make the cross to working solely on that.
