Pay The Writer, or Anyone Else Who Works for You

This is my first post. I will keep it short and sweet. Some may call me a visionary, some call me crazy. Some people will say I am a wonderful warm hearted loving caring individual, some may call me a self absorbed abrasive asshole. Either way. They are probably wrong, and right.

Value is measured in many ways. Not just monetarily, not just time based also in intangibles. That is something you can’t always prove but you know it works, we all know it works. Until you don’t have it. For example we don’t know air is around us until it is removed from us and we gasp heavily at that realization. If you are a creative of some type at some point someone will question your price, your worth and your value. If they are making money directly or indirectly and you have a hand in it. You are valuable. Most wouldn’t go a moment without pay. Why should you?  Never forget that. Charge what you are worth, it is your job to supply the utmost in superior work, it is also your job to find clients who understand this and willing to pay for it. Nothing more nothing less.

“It can’t be that expensive, it only took you 15 minutes. Ya, it took my 7 years to figure out how to do it in 15 minutes.” A recent quote I read somewhere on the net.

Have a wonderful life now. Always do your best no matter what.

Harlan Ellison (who wrote for Star Trek, the Outer Limits, Route 66 and so many more) puts it in total perspective for everyone. An old video but still very relevant.
