There’s really no excuse for disappearing off like this. There is however, a reason. [Hint: Look at the picture.]

I hope you’ve figured it out by now. The hand made card isn’t the most accurate but if you look closely… :) I take my words back. Everybody guessed right :)

Ever since I found out – and I found out relatively early , I’ve been waking up everyday praying I wouldn’t be sick and working as much as I can, wrapping up work for clients, not taking on anymore work than my current levels of sleep and energy permit.

I still haven’t figured out the etiquette for this. As a freelancer, who do I need to tell? Do I even need to tell my clients? The ones I’m letting go of or the one’s I’ll continue working with or both? Also, if I take on new clients, will they need to be told?

You can tell its my first time can’t you? If you’ve got advice, I’m all ears!

The Base will be quiet a little while longer till I work out the details and get back to a posting schedule. Till then I’ll  be aiming at once a week updates.

Don’t worry, the blog’s theme will not change. It’s still going to be about blogging, freelancing, social networking and whatever falls in between.

Oh and if you’d like to see this place updated more than once a week then I’m open to guest posts. Anyone up for it?
