Credit where credit is due

Its a strange line of work we're in isnt it? A new client approaches you with an idea.. just an idea, nothing more, nothing less. You agree to take them and their idea on, you agree a fee and a time and you set to work. You think about the idea while you drive home, while you eat, and while you spend time with your friends. Its the last thing on your mind when you go to sleep and its the first thing on your mind when you wake up. You carry it with you everywhere, for a few weeks you share your life with it. You encourage it, add to it, help it grow. You put your heart, soul, blood, sweat AND tears in to it. It becomes more than it was, something you're proud of, a product of yourself, something that you really care about.. then.. when its ready, when you have done everthing you can for it, you hand it over to the client. And in return they give you a small bag of money.

Thats the way it works, it was thier idea after all. You were just there to make it real, to breath life into it, make it work, make it look fantastic and that... thats all. No one will ever feel about it the way you did ever again.

Oh well, at least the bills get paid.
