i freelanced about 10 or 11 years ago, for about a year....and in most ways loved it a lot....
it can be feast or famine at times....there are times you're so busy that there's no weekend..it's just work work work....bust your ass to make your timelines etc...mostly because since you DON'T get a regular paycheck, you have a very hard time saying 'no' to work....so you say yes to just about everything to ensure that you don't go hungry....
which leads to a very busy life....
but...
when you bill...(and you need to bill regularly) and those checks start coming in....boy oh boy...is that ever fucking nice....
you'll see a LOOOOOTTTTTT more money than you ever did working for someone else...just make DAMN sure you save a good chunk of it for tax purposes...
as long as you budget yourself well, you'll be fine...

as for being lonely or focused....i found that it was a good practice to book a meeting or two every week...just to ensure that i got out of the house and met with clients etc...mix it up, hit folks up for more work etc....
