- [Speculating on Spec](https://that-writer.com/speculating-on-spec/) - There are variations of this old, unverified tale about Picasso sitting in a restaurant when he was spotted by a fellow diner. “You’re Picasso!” she gushed. “I’d be honored if you would paint my portrait for me.” Picasso had his brushes with him and, grabbing a napkin, produced a Picasso masterpiece in a matter of
- [Know When to Fold 'Em](https://that-writer.com/know-when-to-fold-em/) - There are just those times when a client’s going to kill a job. You’re bumping along, doing your thing, and poof! It’s gone.

I’ll need to enlist a kill fee and provide a new estimate.” “Yes, I know we’re getting this to you three weeks late, but we still need you to meet your original deadline.” “Once

We are doing our best to make you look good—or we risk losing your business altogether. Sadly, if we do our jobs too well, we may still
- [The Value of Value](https://that-writer.com/the-value-of-value/) - "This should only take you an hour." To freelancers, this is code for "we aren’t willing to pay you what you're worth."
