Cheap morality???? Used For Views????? GASP! I can't think of a single writer who does such things! (Note the sarcasm)
Seriously though, I never will understand how some successful writers can remain so deeply un-self aware when they post articles re: being a writer. I'm glad you refuted this particular claim for a lot of reasons, including the fact that my own words were used (uncredited???) in one of the articles speaking on the matter. The number one reason is the mental health and wellbeing of our community!
