Funny you should write about the post office too. I was just thinking about their plight the other day.

Great blog, and I hope to learn more from you!

“Writing’s easy. I just sit down behind a typewriter and open a vein.”

I struggled with this exact dynamic when I wrote my recent book on case studies.

I didn’t want people to think they could simply read this book and be on the road to riches.

However, I believe you can do pretty well in writing if you pay your dues, write all the time, and market the heck out of yourself.

I get so unraveled by all these get rich no scammers.

These folks make more money telling others how to do writing than from actually writing.

What they write the most is pitches to folks like you and I.

I hope people see through them.

I am not going to name names, but there are a lot of these snake oil peddlers out there.

Or is that Amen! Amen! Amen!

Is it rocket science? No. But can any hack with a computer do it? No.

I take solice is the fact that it is such hard work that the “get rich quick set” will only last about a week or two.

What you do is a hard-earned skill and you deserve every penny you make. But then…you already knew that!

This post, btw, is the cousin to the “I have a computer and publisher, so I am an art director!”
