Date: February 22nd, 2015 2:13 AM Author: duck-like lodge Can you imagine top writers today commanding $55k for a few thousand words? Nowadays top writers will write whole novels like 500k words for that much in an advance (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2814750&forum_id=2#27367834) |

Date: February 22nd, 2015 2:20 AM Author: duck-like lodge back in the 1920s no one was a writer and everyone was a reader. no tv or other entertainment to compete with it yet. everyone was dying for more stories. nowadays you have a billion trust fund kids doing mfas and just everyone and their mother writing a novel, yet not that many ppl read, especially good literature. the ppl who do read read fantasy or romance or other genre fiction. it's sad.
