One, or maybe two. It's not really something I actively keep track of. Clients come and go.

So far in 2022 I’ve worked with 7 new clients (6 through Proz), 5 of these have been returning customers…

I don't think I have had any new customers so far this year. Those I have seem to be giving me ever more work, which is fine by me. I've had a couple resurface after a few years of silence, which is lovely.

Which roster? Nov 16, 2022

It depends on which roster we're talking about. This year I've added several names to my list of agencies I don't want to work with.

As for clients I do want to work with, there have been two new additions in recent months and probably more earlier in the year, though I don't remember for sure.

That was before my stroke in June. I am now accepting small assignments -- still spending a lot of time in therapy.
