Eagles Over the Kennebec

I love these posts. Not because I'm ever going to be a professional writer (no chance) but because I have known anecdotaly for years that writing fiction isn't going to make anyone rich unless they are very lucky (odds probably similar to hitting the jackpot in the lottery) but not had hard figures to back it up (I believe, many others don't). And because I'm a geek and interested in How Stuff Works, and that includes publishing and the music business and all sorts of other stuff...
