Thank you, Harlan! If not for you, many of us who have come after would still be begging to be in print, while they made fortunes from our talent and labor.

I agree with much of this HOWEVER I would argue that EVERYONE was an amateur at one time, so why ding the guys trying to make it happen who are fledglings in their making a go at writing?

Simple: If someone wants your stuff, then they need to demand that they be paid, like everyone else in the world.

Would you work for free for a month to see if they liked your quality? Harlan's spot-on.

@naiittsabes No because this a clip from a documentary that was released as a preview *before* the documentary was released. The poster may have been involved with the production (and for something as niche/obscure as this, it would be a safe bet).
