I often hear the term "freelancing" used in ref to TWing. What is the difference between temping (W2 or 1099) and freelancing?

Nothing, really. Generally speaking if you're not an employee, you're a freelancer.

I usually draw a distinction between contract tech writing, where I do work-for-hire for companies (under 1099 or W-2), and freelance tech writing for books and magazines, where I do writing under my own byline and retain my copyright.
