What is the worst problem writers face today?
I had trouble answering this.
Writers have been imprisoned.
Executed.
Mocked.
Shunned.
Ill-paid.
Deceived.
Dumped.
Pressured.
Dissected.
Over-glamorized.
Under-glamorized.
Milked.
Bilked.
Brushed-off.
Used.
Banned.
and yes,
Celebrated, Read and Adored.
What's your answer to this impossible question?
P.S. Consider this my plug for the Authors Guild. Whatever the worst problem turns out to be, they are probably already battling it. They reviewed my first contract before I had an agent and they helped me set up my website in about two days. They just won a huge settlement with Google to share online profits with writers. They help writers in financial or legal trouble. They run free seminars. Their quarterly bulletin is juicy reading. And Judy Blume is the VP of the board!
