What do you do as a freelance writer when you are in danger of missing a deadline? I have to say that I don’t usually miss deadlines - it’s bad for business. But this week, I was let down on a job, which left me with too much work to do to meet one of my writing deadlines. I could have pouted and cried (and maybe I did inside) but that wasn’t going to help me meet the deadline. So instead of wallowing in my distress I asked for help. And I got it. That’s why I’d like to thank marleymauve and kohuether, who helped me out of a really tight spot - and burned the midnight oil to do it.

And this is part of the power of WritingUp. Those of us who have been here for a while (and maybe those who are new) have found a supportive community. I have met other people who are doing the same thing I am doing - building a freelance writing career. WritingUp is a great place to talk about things that matter to you with other people who also care about those things. And it’s a great place to make friends and meet people who offer help and mean it.
