You're more woman than I am! LOL One vodka martini and I forget my middle name.

Wendy, stop that. You ARE an established writer. And hair grows back. 🙂 Yes, the higher pay doesn't eliminate the aggravation altogether, but it makes it so much easier to bear. 😉

I'd say my sticking point is getting out the newest brochure — every time I sit down to do it, I get in a new assignment. But I know I need to get it out in order to make sure I don't have a fallow time.

I need about two hours in a hot tub with a martini, and then I'll be able to think straight.

I was there drudging away at the lower paying gigs too. Not a pretty picture for me, but I have since moved on from that hair pulling frustration (LOL, surprisingly I still have some hair) to a better place where I can make tons more for one article alone.

Yes, I have to put in work to find clients and build myself up to become an even higher paid writer, but the frustrations I used to have trying to make the same money are near gone. Sure, I have to deal with clients every now and then, who drive me up the wall, but I’d rather do that then drive myself crazy trying to write tons of articles for the privilege of having chump change.

I never thought I’d be marketing myself, especially face to face. But, now that I’ve tried it, I actually love it. Would I ever go back? Heck no. I like my sanity too much to lose it again. But, that’s just me.
