Both of us had begun to yawn, slumped over in our chairs. The sun set outside the kitchen windows, lengthening my shadow before absorbing it into darkness, a lamp in the kitchen barely illuminating the table between Isabella and I. They were dark, and I had nowhere to hide from them. He introduced himself, I shook his hand, I looked him in the eyes. Isabella and I were in the kitchen, and I watched him carefully as he approached me. It was well past seven when he got home, slinging his coat on the couch and loosening his tie before kissing his wife. Dished out generously with a spoon, it was warm and juicy, sweet with a hint of cinnamon.

The kind of person whose throw pillows, embroidered with phrases like “loving life,” are immaculately arranged from biggest to smallest on her overstuffed, beige sofa. She was the kind of person who takes decorating very seriously. We decided to meet that weekend to prepare our presentation. I barely caught her name: Isabella Cortico. I didn’t know it then, but she had his eyes. I sat in the back of the class and barely knew anyone, so I turned to the nearest person, begrudgingly making eye contact with the blonde girl next to me.

My biology teacher handed out a group project, forcing us to pick partners. But in-between, you never knew what you were going to get. The rise and fall of the sun had no meaning to me: the day began when the morning news programs reported crashes on the interstate, and it ended when the late-night DJs began their endless progression of pop remixes. but then again these artists could just make a new account and continue on their merry way, continuing the bad habit.When I was a kid, I tracked the passing of time by the radio programs. can't blame them for doing the hustle, but when your buyers complain publicly (in socmedia) about your "communicate style", then it def won't help you as the artist if other people uncover yer dirt. possibly they're also not that confident in their way of communicating to the client either because they're very young (afraid of confrontation or the like) or they're a non-native english speaker (language barrier, etc). I assume that these kinds of artists are the ones who take too many commissions. if the reason for the silence is cuz of something urgent then it's still a courtesy to tell them about it, you don't have to get too detailed but tell them a bit of the why (if it's too personal) and how it will affect the work progress and communication time between you 2. and it is basic courtesy, they paid you to do the thing you love and it's one of your responsibilities to share the work's progress (switch shoes if it's a hard concept to handle). but i agree, this kind of ghosting is unprofessional and gives a bad name to artists and scares potential buyers. Idk why you're downvoted (they prob got intimidated? by your speed, which imho misses the point of your message).
