While we enjoy writing, it's nice to have a break. Likewise, I recently turned down a blog opportunity that would have required a post everyday, including the weekends. It was tempting, but I knew it would get old soon. @James: Thanks for stopping by! That was a good post! Maybe a few clients will stumble on it and recognize their annoying behavior. :-) @Opal: I understand your situation. While we enjoy writing, it’s nice to have a break.

I found it interesting - everyone was saying, "Thank you for saying what we couldn't" in the comment section. Apparently the phone issue is a bigger one than I expected.

The owner of one of the websites I write for he emailed me stating that he wanted me to post every day. I emailed him back including the original email I had sent to him when I accepted the job. In that email I specifically stated I would not work every day but would write at least twenty times each month. I've gone over twenty posts monthly, but I'm not about to be tied into working daily. I also suggested that he hire another writer if he is looking to increase the momentum for that particular websites. Although the pay is very good I doubt that I'll be with them next year.
