I am now about 1/3 through my rough draft. Slowly but surely....

If you just keep hitting it and make small progress each time, things build. No need to be in a hurry writing a book.

I thought I would start a thread about what we all might be working on and maybe discuss it.

Wow, another thread that is letting me post, without an invitation. I was wondering if people "wrote" on these forums :) Before I type to much more, I better make this statement is true. :)

Who pays writers? is part of the Scratch magazine site. It collects and reports anonymous information from writers about how much publications and websites have paid them.

Interesting stuff if you're one of them writer types. So is the magazine. Its focus is on making a living as a writer, and they get pretty specific about earnings in a lot of the articles.

Scratch is a subscription site if you want to read the articles ($20 a year), but "Who pays writers?" is free to peruse.

I don't think I have ever been paid more than $100 for a whole article. For the most part, I write for free. Then again, I am not a writer.

I thought I would revive this thread from the dead because I just finished the first full draft of my book (my memoir). It only took six years. The "first pass" took six years and then the first true draft took less than a month -- full time of course. That happened today, so I thought I would post the good news.

Just a few more versions to go now and I'll be ready to send it to my editor! Woohoo!
