Raves and Rants

Think freelancing is a free lunch?  Perhaps an ideal life?  It's not without its drama.  Here's an example, a leaf out of today's diary if you will. Two messages, two editors, same day:

Great story, a thoroughly interesting read.- Simon Capstick-Dale, editor EXPLORE South Africa

 vs. 

Thanks Nick... we're extremely happy with the results... as is our client...+[However] I will do my best to make sure no editor at New Media Publisher's uses your work ever again - Dylan Culhane, editor Mercedes-Benz Magazine [in response to an email highlighting errors in the design/layout, and despite text already approved and invoiced.]
