Writing For Payment Or For Art’s Sake By Lynette Rees
Whenever the ‘P’ word — PAYMENT — gets a mention, writers are frequently up in arms. There appear to be two camps of thought: those that think we should all write for free, ‘because it is our art’, and those who want to get paid what they are worth as a writer. Of course, you yourself, might fall somewhere in between where you prefer to get paid, but will write for free for good causes or if it is to promote yourself.

Burnt Biscuit Ranch
Well, we arrived at my family’s ranch (named for my mother’s cooking!) on Sunday evening and while the children have been hard at work caring for the horses, mucking the stalls, and hauling sticks and manure, Richard and I have been sipping lemonade on the porch and enjoying our “vacation.”
Monitoring a Forum Can Take Its Toll By Angela Hoy
