But those people have day jobs. You can't feed a family on prestige. In fact, families have this annoying way of thinking that your hobbies shouldn't interfere with your ability to put food on the table and shelter over the table.Result: We will have more dabblers, and when the rubber hits the road, people will get out of writing books because there's no money in it.---------------------------------
Well said!
You might get one piece out of a writer for the sheer joy of writing, but after that, reality sets in. Uunless there is a way to feed themselves and/or a family, don't expect folks to aspire to writing for a living.
As e-publishers AND mostly as e-readers, we can only pray that never happens.
