Comments on: How much money does a mid-list writer make? http://www.briankeene.com/?p=3031 The Official Website of Author Brian Keene Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:26:15 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: Theresa Distelrath http://www.briankeene.com/?p=3031&cpage=1#comment-7878 Theresa Distelrath Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:29:38 +0000 http://www.briankeene.com/?p=3031#comment-7878 I'm actually not surprised. Most Books are always over looked by main stream society. Most people turn on a T.V. or watch a movie... I spend a great deal of time in the schools with Middle and High School Students and I would say that more than half have never really read a full novel. They may read parts, or rent the movie but rarely do they read.. and read for pleasure?? rare! If more people read maybe our authors would make more!! I'm thankful that they write anyway!!

Can you imagine that? An outsider, misunderstood zombie dude moves into town, and the cute misunderstood girl next door falls for him....wow....I can already see the broadway musical in my head....give the guy a black-sheep brother/nemesis who wants to woo the girl away (so he can eat her) and give the girl an artistic/misunderstood/gay/warlock best friend - and you've got yourself a hit!!!!!

Especially after how much joy is givin from their creativeness. Compared to hollywood writers, you guys get the shaft....big time.
