Thank you Anne. That makes a lot of sense :-)

I’ve done it both ways… if I can get them to do at least the purpose the project usually, but not always, goes to completion…

This may be kind of a dumb question, Anne, but do you do all of this before the proposal/contract, or is this what you do with them after the contract has been signed?

Yes, I’m sure the client I may be firing has a story to tell… and I probably won’t get any referrals… but unless we can agree how to move forward and then actually do it, I’m the wrong writer for this one anyway.

Thanks for the straight advice. I think beginning writers often feel like they can’t fire a client. To your point, however, there are two sides to the relationship.

Also, I apprecaited you outlining your approach with your clients. Good stuff.

Thanks
