This week, the All-Party Parliamentary Writers Group called on the UK government to take immediate action to reverse the steep decline in author incomes, a year after its inquiry found that writers’ earnings have fallen by 42% in real terms since 2005.As Kathy says, 'Get a job.'
In addition to writing novels we blog, we write magazine articles and the like. We have a new gig we're super pumped about. We used to be a college prof.
Our other gig is Mr. Mom duty. As we write this post we're thinking about taking middle daughter to the bus stop, doing the dishes, straightening up and getting to the gym with the other moms.
You're not JK effing Rowling honey, and you don't have a right to be Jane Austen. Get a job or marry well. We've done both.
Kathy Shaidle seems like a pretty cool chick, knowing my political leanings(centerist mostly, but some that hit both far right and left...in this I mean anti abortion mostly but pro sex ed and contraception to anyone who asks for it(cheaper than welfare checks for 18 years)) anyways she strikes me as interesting...Is that book of hers you recommend for the most part?
ReplyDeleteGood quick read. She also wrote The Tyranny of Nice.
