I never thought it would come to this but I have decided to join the Capitalist Rat Race. I have made the bold Alan Sugaresque decision to charge for my writing like what journalists and freelance writers do. They get paid for writing.
I will still be writing here on Shark Fishing in Wales, my long established blog but I have now decided to branch out and see what other writing platforms have to offer and whether they pay anything.
I know it's going to be nickel and dime stuff. I know that Stripe will take their cut like Paypal take their cut but it feels better that anonymous digital financial institutions crunch the numbers rather than Jeff Bezos keeping your profits to fund his rockets. I wish I understood how I only get 7 pence royalties per sale when somebody buys my work on Amazon KDP.
For all my Anti-Capitalist rantings on twitter I have had to bite the bullet and 'rethink Capitalism.
