good point. i do read about people from over here, doing writing work, and then either never getting paid, or getting paid after long, inconvenient delays. you're right. it's important to protect yourself, as it would be terrible to have all that work and time go to waste.

Good business has a lot to do with credibility and word of honor. Payment for that matter is but due for the work commissioned and completed.

I think the part of being taken advantage with has something to do with the artist's side of the writer… the satisfaction of just seeing your work on print…the first time I learned about web design, I could have profited from it already, but I offered to do one for free…for the sheer pride of seeing it in live colors with so much life.

It truly is amazing how dependent the world has become on the internet in so short a time. It’s almost hard to imagine the world without it nowadays.
