If that was the only way I could make money, I'd get out right there. Or better yet, I'd make better T-shirts, worth good money, and create cheesy online promotional freebies (like Kestral porn  ) to attract more customers. |
Certainly writing talent is very different from marketing talent. I think writing talent and compensation should not be tied to your ability to sell T-shirts. That is just stupid.
