Re: "Don't prostitute your art that way"

I was told by a peace activist that I should be using my writing to change the world. I replied that I was writing to make a profit. Mind you, it is only one of a great many reasons I write, but with all the work, study and supplies I use, I think I should at one point see a profit. As far as I'm concerned there is no problem with this.

The creative side of me writes the work.
The business side of me sells the work.
