One of the blogs I read on a regular basis posted a link to this site. I am not much of a site-to-site surfer, but on occasion when I need an excuse to procrastinate I do. I have to say this particular one is hilarious, but oh-so-sad. It really emphasizes what quite a few people think of us writers:

a) Everyone can write so it is not a valuable skill (yeah, anyone can write like John Grisham’s, Stephen Kings, or GM’s staff copy writer).

b) Because there are so many people desperate to be a writer, someone will do this work for free.

Now option b is unfortunately still somewhat true. I personally do not know anyone who is willing to work for free, I myself never was. With a few University degrees under your belt you refuse to work for less than minimum wage in general and even if you take up writing a free article, it better be a door opener and you better keep all rights for yourself.

 Anyways, that was my rant for this morning. Hope the site entertains you!
