You would have loved it. Basically how writers are underpaid and we deserve more. Much more than that. So in answer to your question, NO it's not asking too much!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-18055386907532099762010-04-28T12:39:01.585-05:002010-04-28T12:39:01.585-05:00That's frustrating, but at least you're ge...That's frustrating, but at least you're generating interest.

There was a time when I may have considered the miscarriage story, just to get it out there and to see a byline, but to ask for my material for YOUR book is ridiculous.

I don't need much, a byline, appreciation and a copy will do many times. But money talks, says you were "worth" something and we writers, even "little ones" need some dollars too. I remember when a student told me that I should teach because I loved the profession. I said I did, but when I went to Wal-mart for bread and cheese, they would not accept my appreciation at the checkout!!! :)Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.com
