I used to work Freelance from home but had to get a proper job when the work dried up. I stay in touch with some of the people I used to work for and each summer I do Holiday Cover for 2 weeks.
Just done the Holiday Cover for this year, starting work early and finishing early so I can get home to work on anything that comes in. Not a peep. Nada. Zip. No work came in over the 2 weeks. Now I remember why I quit Freelance.
I'll do freelance for a selected few who actually have a history of paying their bill. I got tired of getting the Louisville Slugger out to get my money. People are assholes.
Have you tried emailing them? Use the excuse that you were thinking of taking some time off and wanted to get your upcoming schedule sorted out.
i just dont have the hustle anymore to chase down the work.
Working freelance means dealing with people (shudder), and I try to avoid that whenever possible.
I worked six years putting out a weekly paper for somebody I never met in person, all done by e-mail. That's the ticket. Keeps you from committing violence.
That's the way to do it. But there are the ones that want to meet for no apparent reason. Why? Unless I'm picking something up and why am I picking something up? Email it. "I'd love to see your studio". :wtf: No.
My freelance studio is in a van, down by the river.
lmao :laugh: Matt Foley Design
...where your business cards won't amount to JACK SQUAT!
I'd love to see my studio too. My office has been the official dumping ground of shit the GF doesn't know what to do with.

:laugh: Well la-de-freakin'-dah! We got ourselves a writer here! Hey, Dad, I can't see too good. Is that Bill Shakespeare over there?
My 'Studio' was the spare bedroom. I had a devil of a job getting my 'Business Address' taken off all the B2B websites I registered with. One or two would not take an entry without a street address.
