LOL! Oh Eileen, we have much in common. 🙂

Definitely a middle child here. "You're not the boss of me" is why I freelance. I don't think I'm employable at this point.

Cathy, same here. We who are middle kids just don't like following, I guess.

I like your style, Eileen. ;-) Make it real.

Because I'm old, ;-)I've run across old style marketing several times. And because I'm a kid in freelancing years, I've also run across a lot that is new to me.

That combination has me constantly asking myself if it works for me and my business. I like finding what works for me.

And then there is my stubborn middle child of seven that has me resisting anything that I am told I MUST do or that everyone else is doing. ;-)

I knew I hadn't accidentally not sent it, since you'd already replied. Ain't technology fun?

Okay, THAT was strange. Your published comment? I found it in the Spam folder! Blogger is trying to give me a migraine, I swear.

Shoot. It did. Let me go look.

That's weird…looks like my first comment disappeared. It was just there, I swear.

Paula, that sounds like a nightmare client situation. I don't know if the low pay was worse than the guy who's out there telling people to just scrape content and "attribute" loosely.

Ugh. Nothing worse than bad writing on a writer's site. What does that say to the clients? "I'm too lazy to proof my own stuff."

And before anyone rakes me over the coals… yes, I realized my comment had a couple typos in it. But comments are far different from a webpage that should have been carefully edited before going up.
