Sorry I wasn't around Monday to comment. I loved this post, Ashley! It was funny and insightful - which is arguably the best possible combination for making a memorable point.

Just think - pretty soon your boss will set aside an entire day to celebrate you. A Sunday, of course, but like any good boss I'm sure she'll make sure you have the best Mother's Day ever.

Great analogy, Ashley – sounds like you both know who the boss is! 😉

Nice, Ashley… good for both of you.

Yep, mini-me has always known she's the boss. One day, it's going to come as a huge shock to her when the power shifts back to me! :-)

Thanks for letting me contribute, Lori. I love reading all the advice during Writers Worth Month!

Amen to you too, Cathy! Great point about the power shift -- it's so eye-opening, isn't it?

Ashley, thank you. Terrific post. :)

Love it, Ashley! Your little mini-me knows what she wants. ;-)

I think one of the struggles for new freelance writers is thinking of themselves as the boss. It takes time to transition from our boxed world as an employee. The day we realize we are the boss, we have the power to be one.
