		<description>@ deanna--Exactly, no matter how much you know about the business, if you have a reputation of no being reliable, you might as well give up.

@ icybc--Thanks honey.  I haven't heard from the client on the next assignment, but with it being Easter weekend, I'm not too worried.

Thanks for stopping by.  :)</description>

		<description>Great advice, especially if you are trying to build a working reputation. Skill is important, but so is reliability.</description>

		<description>I am very happy to announce that not only did the client pay me in full, he went so far as to laugh at me, then tell me that my next assignment will be coming this weekend.  I was very happy to hear that</description>

		<description>I too have been in simular situations with clients and I've found as long as your honest and upfront, most of the time the client will forgive you and come back.  The main thing is confessing your mistake and making it right.  I try to incorporate that to my kids too.

Sounds to me like that client will come back to you again.  People appreicate honesty in any business.</description>

		<description>Wow!  Thanks for stopping by Sean.  I love the way you put that comment together, felt like I was there too.  It's amazing the things you find in your own backyard, especially when you're not paying attention.  LOL

Thank you for checking out my site and I hope to see you back again.

Enjoy the beach, I'm totally jealous.  LOL</description>

		<description>@Nannette--Exactly, you can get a "rainy day" just about anywhere, but weather oddities give your reader more of a geological feeling.

@Shakespeare--You're right, settings can make the difference between in a story.  Not every place experiences the same weather patterns.  Around here, we've been in the middle of a serious drought, so when you're sick of the rain, send it our way.  LOL</description>

		<description>Some settings are crucial... I can't help thinking of Forks, WA, just a few hours from where I live. Of course, where I live it is mostly overcast, too... rain and clouds for about 10 months of the year.</description>

		<description>@ dpsmusings---I love words, I love to find new words, I love to hear new words, I love rhyming words, I just love words.  It's a disease.  LOL

@aw---Mine is Roget's Super Thesaurus 2nd Edition.  Poor thing has seen better days, but it's still holding together.  I write mostly non-fic and use it a lot these days as dictionary/simile (in fact had to use it for that word) finder.  It has a huge coffee stain on the bottom, the binding is torn, and there are hundreds of highlighted words throughout the whole thing.  I'd be lost without it.</description>
