Leigh - that's exactly how I feel...like she doesn't view my services as worth anything. Initially she seemed gung-ho and had all these ideas for pitching the site, promoting me, etc. It honestly felt "too good to be true" although I wanted to believe someone in the public eye (again, she was running for Congress) wouldn't screw me.
Diamondpete - you are right...she is obviously in the wrong but I could have taken measures to prevent this from happening. I regret not having drawn up a contract of sorts. The "CYA" (cover your ass) principle is always a good thing! The constant feeling of having to ask someone for something you were supposed to get is DRAINING and ridiculous. She was noncompliant from the start, and I am much better off without her. She is one of the few clients i've had to "fire."
We shall see. I wasn't rude in my email to her but haven't heard back yet...I am one of those types who is I guess a bit naive in thinking most people aren't going to do me wrong. I do get proven wrong here and there but it doesn't change my belief that with the bad comes the good!
