Never, ever, ever apologize for your price. Gots to remind myself of that one periodically. I think I learned it from TJ or maybe my father first, but oh how it’s easy to forget.
This has been a relatively good year for me as a freelancer… I’ve certainly never lacked for work and I’ve managed to keep my schedule extremely flexible. Plus, how many jobs let you switch coasts with barely a hiccup in any of your projects or client relationships?
Still, I have the strange sensation sometimes that I’m barely making ends meet, and that I’m working more than I probably need to be. This is at the expense of the many, many, many creative projects that need constant care and prodding to continue their long, slow journeys toward becoming something more than just hot air.
