I've pulled all my fiction and poetry from public viewing, except that
which resides on online journals' sites. My personal website now
points people DIRECTLY to the books, and the books (after a brief
blurb) go directly to the basket.

A friend of mine just sold her memoirs to [insert biggie here] for
250K USD. Another friend of mine has been selling articles left and
right in his first year in this business, for over a buck a word in
many cases.)

I've decided that from "now on" -- I either get paid for EVERY LAST
WORD I write, or it just doesn't get read. (Unless it's already in an
online journal.)

How's that for a change in perspective? ;-)
