September - Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month?

[veronica_rich]

No, really.

So I'll extend it to fellow paid muckrakers and muckraker-adjecents yoiebear, beldar (whose birthday is also today), kahva, pir8fancier, potboy, smtfhw, tesan, theorynut, and curiouslyfic. If you're not on the list, I likely don't know you do this for a living; speak up! :-)

Be nice to your writers, reporters, editors, commentators, and pundits - unless you are one and you want to yell at another one. Then, by all means, tear them a new one; it's your underpaid professional privilege, after all (and there are few enough)! Just don't be surprised if you wake up with a horse's head in your bed ... it'll likely be the one your fellow scoundrel lost more money on at the track.

Do you reckon we could extend it to be international?

I have decreed it and made it so ...

Why do words pay so poorly, I ask you? Writing isn't EASY.

Ah, but many people *think* it is. They think because they can string together a few sentences into a paragraph for an e-mail, that they could write a book ... if they really wanted to. Like people who read WebMD all day think they're doctors. *G*
