I realize that writing as an art would not exist without caring authors, but writing as a *business* would not exist without paying customers. Absent that, you're all artistes who are, like Emily Dickinson, putting everything into a drawer for your own amusement.

The Emily Dickinson Drawer. Right, I'm off to write that right now and then stick it in a drawer.
