It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

I have a day job!!
I have one of the most boring 9-to-5s on the planet!!!
I make VERY GOOD money from advances/royalties alone (hi, I’m a bestseller!), but I’m also the breadwinner and we need health insurance. No way am I abandoning a stable, quiet, low-pressure “email job” in this economy.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

1. Don't send death threats to comic creators
2. Comic writers and artists need to be more thoughtful about the implications of SA in their storylines. Just because a character experienced a status quo in a previous story 40 yrs ago, that doesn't mean it's a good idea now.
