I'm sorry, but this rate is a slap in the face to our profession. I know you mean well but don't think we should be sending our compatriots to people like Ross Falik. Just my opinion.

What do you suggest then when you hear that other writers have NO work? When you hear that there's no money to pay for food and shelter?

I agree, Marinela, $26 is low, but so is the economy -- probably much worse than the stats we're being given now. So, thank you for sending the job information. We need to support each other however we can.

In fact, our supporting each other is probably the only way this economy is going to get healthier. The system is set up so that the coporations don't give a hoot about the well-being of the workforce.
