Very interesting.
I...Thank you for your post, Ali.<br />Very interesting.<br /><br />I must say, however, that I do worry about the notion that we writers shouldn't see our work as a profession. <br /><br />The publihsing houses already try to pay most of their authors a pitiful sum, and if some authors are willing to accept this for their art,indeed almost encourage it, then trust me, the publishers will take advantage.<br /><br />And many fabulous writers will simply stop writing because living in fresh air, or trying to juggle writing with full time work and child rearing is simply unsustainable.<br /><br />HBxHelen Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266205672947750373noreply@blogger.com
