I'm doing OK :).

I've got one large client who I basically subcontract for, then a handful of other clients I work on a less regular basis. About a 50/50 split between the large client and the rest.

I earn less than when I was working full time, but love the freedom to spend my time as I like, and to have the time to work on my own startup projects. I'd earn more if I took the freelancing more seriously and made an effort at sales and marketing, but as it is I'm thinking of scaling back to concentrate on my own projects more.

Retainers or any other regular monthly income are gold.
