At various times, including now, I have written for a living. Reading the reviews here gives me a sense that most folks rating have not.
Make no mistake, this can be dull and dreary work, with no more reward (financially or otherwise) than a supermarket cashier.
At its best, its the best job in the world. (I should note that I'm a highly specialized sort of writer)
At its worst, its bloody drudgery for slave wages.
