Devon, I thought of you when I saw the more recent demands (two) in a LinkedIn forum. I chuckled too, for I knew their requests would go unanswered. And that they&#039;d say other writers just aren&#039;t supportive because of it.

					<description><![CDATA[The client list demand is one that always irritates me. The same way a potential client insists that I hand over my rolodex as part of the interview process. Um, no. I spent years building my contacts. I&#039;m happy to share resources, but we all need to build our own contact lists, to a point. There are contacts that are appropriate to ask for and share, and those that are not.

I&#039;ve spent most of this year redefining how I want my freelance career to look and feel, and I&#039;m going even farther with it. The Goals, Dreams, and Resolutions  theme for 2020 is &quot;Transitions and Transformations&quot; because so much of that will happen. I started the foundation this year, but there&#039;s a lot more work to do. Plus, things like needing a new car and health concerns and having to move next year are going to factor in to some of those decisions. 

It&#039;s that thing of having a workable plan that remains flexible enough to actually be &quot;workable.&quot; And I&#039;m rambling because I&#039;m tired. 

I&#039;m actually kind of pleased with what DIDN&#039;T work this year, because it&#039;s helping me define what I want and how I want it to work.]]></description>

I have some resources for ghostwriting, if you&#039;re interested in doing more of that. I&#039;ll post them over on Women Write Change, probably later this afternoon or tomorrow.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of my issues is not knowing precisely who to target to move into deeper into the B2B and ghostwriting side of the business. But I keep trying. 

I sent a link of this post to another freelancer (not a writer) I know who seems to be in the self-defeating phase right now when it comes to finding additional clients.]]></description>
