Writing professionally can be quite stressful. It involves intensive marketing, deal-making, deadlines, and the actual writing itself - both web content and print copy. I know, I operate Jimmy Hall Writing Services.com (404-580-1501). I live it.
Sometimes professional writers simply have to take a step back, no matter how hard we feel like we need to work, and allow ourselves to recover and relax. This benefits us, and our clients. Though we want to work 12-14 hours a day, it is better if we do not. It's not all about money.
When the writing becomes really hard work (in a mental sense) it is time for a break. A clever and crisp mentality is required in this business, and a stressed and bored writer will NOT have it. A strong interest is needed, if not complete enthusiasm.
Therefore, if a writer seems to quote you a completion date a few days or a week longer than you like, give them a break! It may well be that he or she has the quality of their work for you in mind.
Yes, writing is demanding - physically and mentally and intellectually. Good professional writers ROCK! We are not all about money.
