The only thing as precious as time in the author's life is money to pay the bills.
In this tight economy, more and more publishers delay payment or don't bother to pay at all. Prices go up so much between weekly trips to the grocery store that clipping coupons and making big pots of bean soup doesn't help much. I shudder to open the utility bills even though I keep the thermostat too cool in winter and too hot in summer.
And then there are the "surprises" like spending over $200 to fix the refrigerator yesterday and a vet bill that will top $400 later today.
Wish I could wave a magic wand so I could earn money as quickly as I spend it and collect what's owed me as quickly as I'm expected to pay my bills.
May the Muse be kind!!

I think we're all feeling the pinch, but not to be paid by a pub is just wrong on many levels. I raise my coffee cup to better times ahead.
Thanks, Adelle!
