I feel for you. When I started freelancing it was a nightmare. Finding clients, promoting myself, and so on. There's a lot that I could tell you about how to get started but it would take forever and this really isn't the easiest place to dump massive amounts of information for an answer. However, you should check out a site called FreelanceSwitch. It's a place specially made to guide freelance designers and writers. They write articles and have an "amazing" free podcast archive where they tackle new freelancing topics every episode. It helped me out so so much when I was starting out and I really recommend you check it out.
