At the same time, if they’re piling it on you without any increase in compensation, it’s okay to say no, or to ask to renegotiate, I would guess.

You’re like me – there’s no way they’re getting garbage from me. I respect my work and myself much better.

It’s not his or her fault that you bit off more than you could chew.”

Very good advice. One of the ongoing writing gigs I have now has increased in assignments, and the first few weeks were hell. I wondered what I had gotten myself into. But I refused to crap out some stuff on paper (um, .doc) and submit it. I am a firm believer that the quality of work you present is a direct reflection of yourself. And I’m not a half-asser, regardless of the work load.
