Cold, hard reality

Thanks to John Scalzi for discussing the matter of writing income. Note the comment stating that an SF income of $67K/year likely puts him in the top 1% of SFWA, earnings-wise.

This is a man who works his ass off, and writes fast. If you work your ass off and write more slowly, but don't happen to create Hannibal Lecter, shave off accordingly.

I will point friends and acquaintances..and the odd stranger...toward that post when they ask me why I'm still working the day job even though I've published four books.
