The monthly rate makes a lot of sense, if you’re looking at a long gig, full-time or half-time. Lori has a point about friends and relatives of author (F.A.R.O.A.) intruding on the work. Obviously, you’d be dealing with a non-professional, which raises numerous flags. I think a general clause stating the author is not to even discuss the work with others might be wise. A non-professional will often damp his/her creative drive by too much talking about the project, particularly in ghosted fiction.

I've written a web design contract for another company before, but not a writing contract for myself yet. I should probably get around to that soon, and when I do, I'll refer back to this post to get some ideas, since I will likely have no idea where to start. Thanks!

That could actually make a lot of sense… I’ve never had a real problem they way you describe it but I do hate it when my client starts running things by someone else.

I like the escape clause, actually. Mine includes a line that voids the contract should a third party start editing the work without the author and me agreeing to it from the start. I find I had to include that because inevitably, people drag in their friends, families, coworkers, or someone they think is an expert to look over the work. Look it over, but don't expect me to now write for another person - one I don't know, one who doesn't know the conversations the author and I have had, one who has no vested interested in the project whatsoever, and one whose vision may be completely different than the author's. I'd love to please the world, but it won't happen if I'm now trying to please 2, 3, or 6 more people. I had that happen so many times it became necessary. The last one was heartbreaking - the client's "expert" decided after we'd gone through the final edit that she wasn't writing the right book. You know where that project went. Ugh.
