Today’s Writing Wednesdays post from Steven Pressfield gets to the heart of a writer’s dilemma: do you stay true to your work and possibly earn nothing (“Nobody wants to read your sh*t.”), or do you compromise to the demands of the market?
Reflecting on the author Elizabeth Gilbert’s deal with her writing, he asks if we’re prepared to do the same.
Her deal was:
“I will never ask you to support me. I will support you.”
That’s a mighty challenge to integrity and income.
