I’m going through one of those periods that astrologers lay off to mars in retrograde… lots of smallish things going wrong, and a couple of larger ones too. I won’t go into all the details, but I’m also having trouble with a clients, and I’d like your advice.
The first is a smallish contract for a book proposal. The client wants me to create a sample chapter and the rest of the sales pitch so she can circulate it to agents and/or publishers. We get along well, have had several phone appointments and are, I think (and she’s so indicated) closing in on her really quite unique style. In the last few days, she’s broken two, maybe three telephone appointments. She’s had a good reason, for each, but… and when I suggested a particular time on Friday she asked if instead I could meet with her on Saturday.
The question: Would you work on Saturday in this situation even though you normally don’t? Why? And if you didn’t, what would you tell the client.
Write well and often,
