Thanks. Hunted the comments for someone saying this, because I thought I was nuts.

Artist starves due to exposure?

Well..... I’m not a millennial. ;) But I’m with you on the poor underpaid sod. It’s crazy.

Years?? That’s awesome. Out of curiosity, what do you write about?

That’s why I said “for most people”. Good for your friend - but think about how many people end up a) getting something like that, or b) getting something like that AND get paid for it.

Absolutely agreed. Writing for yourself is great, but usually the people doing so want to make the leap to doing it as a career.

I find it so ironic that we have a generation of people marching on the White House in an unprecedented fashion, demanding that they be disarmed.

Got a favourite recipe you can share?

All I remember is this one...

Very good take. I have a question on one of your points:

I mean... I wouldn’t argue against having a mansion, though... ;)
