The price I paid

My decade of writing short stories
Writers rarely tell you how much they earn, other than the well-known authors we never break even.

I will give you a ballpark estimate of what my decade has cost me, I can't do any better as I never kept an account book as it is hard to keep accounts; when you earn less than $1 a month it is not worth the trouble.

I would estimate that taking into account the price of the editing software and the cost of running my blog on Weebly, plus the cost of my only book cover. I must have paid out close to $1,000 dollars, and what was my return, less than 5% of my outlay, is it any wonder I am giving up this year?
