Why indie work feels like playing Hitman on Freelancer Mode — you drop in alone, gear up with whatever scraps you find, and every mission either pays out or gets you ghosted.

I now have two books overdue and one book was due today, but I can't send them without photo credits… and it's up to the client to supply the photo credits.
So… yeah.
Also today is a holiday in Canada.

Editing portfolios are rather silly IMO. I've never seen one that includes what the documents looked like BEFORE editing, so how do you know how good of a job the editor did? Some writer don't need heavy copy editing. Can you even determine what were developmental edits? #Writing #FreelanceLife
