I am a talented technical writer. I was recently struck with a debilitating illness, rendering me 75% homebound. I want to develop an income freelancing. Telecommuting. I am networking as best I can in this developmental stage, but could use some clever insights from others on how to find writing opportunities.

Hi,

you may want to consider HP/Compaq. When I worked for Digital at the time a good percentage of the employees worked from home. They actually did a lot to make the concept work, and they did it to control costs - they were able to get rid ofan entire office building of people (I would say most likely more than just one) just by pushing people to the house where they want to work anyway. Some companies are paranoid about whether people will do their jobs or not at home, but at Compaq, people know who's doing their job and who is slacking. It wouldn't matter whether they were at work or at home. The slackers would still slack.. I also ran into another idea
