A week or so ago, a friend and author said, “When I started writing, I wanted to support all my friends by buying all their books. Then I did the math, and with all of my creative friends, and all of their projects, there’s just no way I could afford it.” He said it with a begrudging shrug, and everyone in the group agreed. For some reason, though, it stuck in my mind. I’ve been thinking about it off and on ever since.
