*Bangs Head on Desk*

I looked at a book of publishers today (the Writer's Guide?). It turns out that a publisher might pay something like $2500 to $5000 for a book, plus royalties (something like 10%).

And how much is that an hour? Egad! How in the world do writers support themselves? I've no idea. Part of what I wanted to do with this is eventually turn it into a side business. But then there's the question of viability.

What I need to do right now is to stay focused on the task at hand. Remind myself that this isn't about the paycheck (yet). Get the story first. Then figure out the rest later.

New idea: maybe a script? Hmmm....
