Paula, that isn’t a bad idea!

I had a writer friend who did just what you suggested. He sent the client the entire email string, highlighting the parts where the client asked for exactly what he’d delivered. She still denied it and told him to rewrite it.

That’s when you cut bait. Right there. And you expect payment for delivering per the original assignment.

And I used the three sources you suggested.” Maybe then she wouldn’t have wanted it totally rewritten with three new sources!

Funny how when people realize something was their idea they tend to like it more than when they forgot it was theirs and assume it was yours.
