Shabana,<BR/><BR/>I am glad you were able to turn your dry spell around into something productive. Slowdowns can be scary, but they do allow us ample time to work on our own projects!

I just survived my first ever famine! It slowly began to creep up a week before Thanksgiving and has finally ended. (Thank God!)<BR/><BR/>I wasn't prepared for it at all. (when you have loads of work on your plate you tend to think you're invincible!) <BR/><BR/>On the plus side, the dry patch helped me understand the importance of having a passive income. I used all the free time to put my own

Tammi,<BR/><BR/>I definitely understand where you are coming from. Congrats on the local gig :)<BR/><BR/>Jenn,<BR/><BR/>The week before Thanksgiving was super busy for me - I'm the exact opposite of you. For me it gets super slow before Christmas. Luckily I have a few long-term clients who should be able to get me through the lean spots.

Normally my slowest week of the year is the week before Thanksgiving. This year there wasn't as much of a slow-down, and I had plenty of my own projects to spend time on though, so it was a pretty full schedule. <BR/><BR/>Starting on Black Friday I get orders coming in like crazy (even though I stay off through that weekend). I'm still on a heavier-than usual ordering period. <BR/><BR/>It usually

When all else fails, I go local. I check Pittsburgh's Craigslist, browse through local companies and check in with the Beaver County Times. <BR/><BR/>I just landed a decent gig through a local company that should get me through the holidays. <BR/><BR/>If everything fails, I just go loco with coupons and cutbacks.
