I’m working with an editor right now and he was going to be late delivering the third milestone. Some people would have just delivered it a day late. And maybe they would apologize. But artists are proactive communicators. He gave me a heads up that he would be a day late before I ever had to wonder where things were.
You’d be amazed at the amount of grace people will give when you are proactive communication.
When it comes to time, permission is a better option than asking for forgiveness.
