[QUOTE="Joe, post: 467066, member: 9"] Actually [USER=648]@Blurt[/USER], joking aside, it's a lot easier to sell visual art than it is to sell one's writing or poetry. Writing must be a very difficult way to make a living. Even the housewife can make a buck selling their art in their spare time. If you tried to sell your poetry/writing and art work at the same time with equal time and effort put into each, you'd likely sell your artwork first. Writers I think, face a much higher rate of rejection or periods without work. I've seen employment ads for writers and they say stuff like[I] "Writer wanted, will pay 10 cents per word." [/I]How can a person make a living like that? 10 cents x 1000 words only $100 and might take several days/hours with edits to publish in final form. The only viable way a poet can make a living in this day and age is to put them into songs and sell them on a platform such as YouTube. [/QUOTE]
