That's terrible!
It's terrible, inspired and cheered me up no end.

Would I really want it to be? No. It would take the fun out of it. Would I still want to be properly published? Yes.
That was David Fincher, who actually is a pretty good director. He just blew it with that one movie.As long as Lynch doesn't butcher your masterpiece... Like Alien 3.
To be honest, I'm surprised it's as high as 5%. Although if that's survival, rather than an actual living, that could make sense.
Where do you consider that line in Great Britain? My sense would be that £20,000 would be the demarcation line between making a living and hardly living for a single adult --- judging by my area of the U.S.A. I've heard that among S.F. authors in the States that there are at most 50 or so who make a "living" at writing.
I was quoting Orson Scott Card from a decade or more back. I thought he would be a likely source.If that’s the case I know at least 25% of them - which I think is highly unlikely

True .... I'm sure he was talking about Trad published authors. I read that before I became a chronner which was (can it be?) 13 years ago now? So It's more likely a quote from 20 - 25 plus years ago when non-trad was not much of an option.He is almost certainly referring to trad published authors. I know more self published than trad who earn their living at it - including our own @ratsy.
