I need to add that at the end...

duh,

I swear, I am a creative, not a business person...I always forget to have a signed agreement & contract...
Partially since I usually either do freelance for the newspaper which is already got a way to pay in place, or because I work for people I know and we either trade or we have a verbal.

I sound like such a rookie, maybe I just suffer from not valuing my own talent and abilities
