Agreed. Sometimes it's hard to turn down a good project, but it is better to maintain a good Rep.
Part of my learning experience has been to know what my limits are... and not taking on TOO much shite at once. If there's a project you really want to do, it's good to bring in others to divide up the workload...
So how is the freelance work in Nashville these days? (I remember you from our Memphis/Nashville conversation a few months ago)

Oh yeah, I remember the Memphis/Nashville conversation! :)
Freelance work is great although this week has been hard. I just got canned by a damn musician who hired me (for next to nothing I might add) to do a website and has been so demanding and picky about every little detail...then got pissed because I wasn't responding fast enough for her liking and bagged me without warning. So, today, this minute, I hate everybody, myself included.

Wow, that sucks. I've been in a similar situation before.
;-P
...Although budget-minded micromanagers like her ARE burning their own bridges -- you can find better clients out there.
Just out of curiosity, do you start with a creative brief to set parameters for a project?
It sometimes makes it easier to reel-in a client, esp. if it's on a tight budget.

thanks, tw. Yeah, it sucks. Makes me nearly sick to my stomach to think she's out there badmouthing me cause you know others will not think she's a micromanager, they'll think its all me.
Creative brief...I always have one..unless its someone I know. I know! I know! Even more reason.

I do it on weekends and work during week. Side gigs pay for me goodies. :)
