Being a professional writer is very expensive. Most authors get no financial support to promote their books, so they must do it on their own.
Right now I'm staring at my fourth-draft, completed manuscript of my newest mystery. I would really like some feedback from my editor in San Diego, but unfortunately, it's $1,600. I can't afford that, not with taxes, health insurance, car insurance, and my upcoming trip to Peru in July.
The craft you love versus financial necessitites--the choice is too painful sometimes. I will get my manuscript to my editor...sometime this year.
