I'm a freelance illustrator and web designer working from home in London. I'm new here (from Canada), and I've found it challenging so far. I'm pretty committed to home-working because we'll be having kids in a year or two, and we'd both like to be home with them.
I've freelanced before, and I've always enjoyed the freedom, and the selfishness of being able to work for 8 hours straight without interuption. The downsides are the loneliness, the bouts of no motivation, etc.
This stint has been especially difficult so far, because I'm suddenly in a new country with no contacts. If there are any other people working from home in London who would like to get together for a drink, e-mail me at slashdot@ideo.ca.
