I'm sure this is going to get me into trouble.......adult is the cheapest....when it comes to text.

Mainstream writers command so much more....yet, on the web....everyone says text is essential.....well, hell yeah, it's essential. It's not as if we can call the surfers up ...all we have are words and graphics...

I don't get it.

Sorry, Red and Coy....and The Other Steve...custom stories? 50 dollars?

No and hell no.

Writers, especially in THIS industry, should be revered...because we CAN write advertising text and come up with those catchy lines and phrases.....we can take fifty words, condense them into ten, keep all the keywords in tact and give the surfer a hard on....

We ARE that good....

Everyone wants 'em and no one wants to pay for them.

We've learned to accept $50. for a story. For a thousand words...that comes out to what.....2 cents a word?

Go visit some copy writer boards....many of them command 2-4 dollars a word...

And, advertising? Well....'got milk'....earned 100 G.
