Working Texas Writer was originally a static website, a basic place that talked about writing as a profession. I chose the name Working Texas Writer because I’m not really interested in the theoretical business of being a writer.
I once corresponded with a woman who told me that she would rather have a website that used perfect English than a website that made a billion dollars. I said that sounded great to me, I’d take the one that made a billion dollars.
It’s not that I’m opposed to good writing, it’s just that writing sometimes looms so large in the mind of writers that they forget the point. The point is that we write to communicate and some of us, like me, write to earn a living. I actually know the difference between a subjective and objective genetive, but that does not really help me go about the true business of writing for a living.
