Disappointme...Thanks for sharing with us ALexandra! Disappointments are a given in life - especially when you freelance like we do. One can put so much thought (and faith and hope!) into a project that comes to nothing. I was approached for quite a big project (according to my standards) before Christmas - I was SO excited - yippeee - some real money at last - but nothing has happened since - it makes it very difficult to plan other work projects, as you can imagine. Like Aimee and others, I am also impressed with your honesty about this issue, thank you! Although I am in such an unrelated field, I find there are so many commonalities when one works for oneself, marketing one's skill to the rest of the world ...Anairamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626269831496499230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165052.post-40872714582139023302010-03-15T06:21:32.922+01:002010-03-15T06:21:32.922+01:00I am thankful again- what an important issue you&#...I am thankful again- what an important issue you've just tackled with grace,guts, brilliance, and humour!
