And so I look at projects and decide, okay, where am I going to get the best return for my time and energy?

How do you tell your clients that you need an extension on a project because you’re sick? They won’t be shocked and dismayed when you finally do announce there’s no way in hell you can get out of bed and that their project is going to be late. You also won’t accidentally be rude to them because everything hurts and you haven’t slept.

That multi-cast would be awesome, because I feel like that's also one of the most expensive and complicated audio projects to do as independents who don't have their own studios. If you have to not just hire all the different actors, but also then edit that together, that is a big project. I could see that as a sort of creative.
