I know you must all assume I live a brilliant life - rich and plentiful, successful and wonderful - given my cheery and positive outlook on here, but if I'm honest, these last few months have been absolutely shit. Not being front-page on Google is a fucking killer where new client business is concerned. If it weren't for my regular clients and their referrals, I'd be fucked right now.
Anyway. Steps taken, web traffic building back up - a corner to turn in my near future, I'm hoping.
Today - two clients absolutely fucking sang my praises. One was just some human on the street, the other someone very well respected in an industry I dig. Both super-appreciated, both quite needed, I'm sad to say.
I can get through this.

I'm hoping I won't have 'Suicide is painless' going around my head as an apparently regular ohrwurm on my walk to work each morning any more... :\
