Even if it is up to 6 days after I read the better version of his post online. So let me just add to the discussion with some of my thoughts on it.<BR/><BR/>Just because you Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678362998156967998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-38317484812178889862008-07-28T08:57:00.000-04:002008-07-28T08:57:00.000-04:00I appreciate your compliments Ed, but I'll only ac...I appreciate your compliments Ed, but I'll only accept that my perspective is somewhat off-beat. My awful treatment of grammar and awkward style really embarrasses me sometimes. <BR/><BR/>Especially when I see it reprinted in the paper! In retrospect, I probably should have paid more attention in Mrs. Dumbrowski's english class. Who knew it would come in so handy?<BR/><BR/>There are two CT Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334232414964958641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-50234933631551169542008-07-28T06:27:00.000-04:002008-07-28T06:27:00.000-04:00Bob:I appreciate your stance as an "amateur" write...Bob:<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your stance as an "amateur" writer, but as Anthony Burgess once pointed out, "amateur" means someone who loves something.<BR/><BR/>You do yourself a disservice to be so humble. You're a very good writer, and thinker. Your perspective is valued by many. <BR/><BR/>I understand the value of being read by a larger audience, but the question at least needs to be asked: howMiddletown Eye (Ed McKeon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15825886539128890014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-77464788861343036402008-07-27T18:41:00.000-04:002008-07-27T18:41:00.000-04:00Hi Ed.

I really dig "Caterwauled".<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I mentioned I wasn't being paid for my writing in the article. <BR/><BR/>Believe me when I say that I really struggled with whether it was the right decision to agree to the project.

What do you call it when you write, and someone else publishes it, and sells ads based on the content you've produced?
