I’m grateful. My comment is simply to correct one thing: As moderator, I pointed out that we write differently when we write for money (versus writing for free), not that we are sullied or in any way disabled by payment. I write for money all the time, and encourage everyone who so wishes to do it too. When I write for money, I ascribe to various habits and dictates that my publisher brings to the task. When I write for free, this kind of shaping is much less definitive and is negotiated quite differently. The difference deserves to be noted.
