I have been a freelance writer for about 40 years. It is fantastic. You learn new things with every article. You have a job that is mostly done in your head, which keeps the brain cells from wasting away. However, were it not for my day job, I couldn't afford to be a freelancer. I do earn money at it, but not regularly enough to maintain myself.
My advice, for what it's worth, is do it. But do it as part of a plan that will not leave you starving. You can market yourself more effectively if you don't depend on it. Keep at it and people (editors and such) will begin to realize that you are there and start to call.
Good luck.
