It sounds like Jenn or Jake.

Spoken like a true freelancer, Paula. We always make time where we can. 🙂

I currently have three that I'd consider anchor clients, but have no guarantee of work from any of them, so the marketing always continues. (I just sent another batch of fall story ideas to Favorite Editor this morning.)

I have two more clients I work with several times per year, but not consistently.

And it seems like the new client I wrote catalog copy for last week likes my work, because she assigned another section for this week and said there will be more if I have time. I will make time if I need to.

I lost (or had work significantly cut back) on 3 anchor clients through a bizarre twist of events.

**It was one of your readers who coined that term and I love it-anchor client – do you remember who it was? I totally stole it and would give her credit if I could remember**

Typically, I do have 4 anchor clients who bring work every month. Unfortunately, I have not replaced the one I lost (who was laid off), but she has a new job with an international firm so I hope to work with her again soon. I moved with her once before.
