Aaaaagggh. I didn't get that one either!
I've gotten previous messages from you both. How is this happening?
Don't answer that. I just need to change providers.
Please resend.

Ginger and smonster, I responded to you both, first thing this morning. If you did not receive my messages, please let me know.

bonny, yes! I got it. Will ponder answers this evening, and I'll let you know when I've replied.

My real life version of this valuable thread is working out really well.
How is it that I have even survived for so long without this kind of support?
I really am giving up the idea of being a lone wolf. Not only is it...well...lonely, but stagnant. The thinking that got me stuck will not get me unstuck, eh?
In the case of my RL cohort, we spark off of each other with excellent ideas. It's like a popcorn popper of thought. I love that feeling.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
bonny, I'm thrilled to hear about your RL-analogue (and feeling the same way about this thread starting up here) -- I know that for me, diving into freelancing was really a needed correction after a lot of things about the last job, but it's way too easy to fall into thinking I have to do everything for myself in my cosy little room all by myself, and it just ain't so.

Hmm.. following on that thought, and since it's damn near the end of the month (ack!!), what would y'all think about some kind of monthly check-in thing? Totally not mandatory, ever, and please no specifics of clients or dollars, but things like:
- what successes did you have this month?
- what do you have an eye on for the next month?
- brag points, frustrations, brilliant ideas?
- didja at least pay the rent? (or whatever your personal baseline is for "is my business doing okay?")
