A place to share and discuss writing

I wrote a new essay about how and why it’s so difficult to pay artists. I’ll be honest: this was a hard essay to write. I started it six months ago, and after 4,000 rambling words, gave it up.

A map of some of the difficulties might be helpful. https://paragraph.com/@driftless/why-artists-cant-get-paid?referrer=0x33514A171B0eC657a0237Dd388fAA4f39eE2a2E4
