This recollection helps me understand why it's important to not be coy, to be proud and loud-- for it's in this type of sharing gives the rest of us (novices?) a reference point.

My highest earnings so far were $8.16 in a single month. And truthfully, I was THRILLED.

I've never been paid for my writing although I've written a lot for a lot of years.

Hard work begets higher pay out.

Let's keep going!
