And all it does is create a support system for a writer who normally works alone, for which you pay a percentage of your earnings for. That's fine, but it's a techinal thing, not an emotional one.

And since I'm now producing my own work I can trust that I'll treat myself properly :-)Adaddinsanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577587188266580561noreply@blogger.com
