Will check it out, Marjo, thanks. And you're right, I've come across the same thing on various lists I'm on, right down to one writer saying she wouldn't trust the credibility of someone who didn't get paid! Bull! Just because we don't get paid doesn't mean we don't do our best.

I couldn't agree more, and I know that you better than I would know both the importance and feasibility of that.

And it's absolutely true that people may be paid, for instance, to write BORING drivel about township ordinances and new roads, and roads widening-- yet they aspire to Rick Bragg's prowess. The good Rick Bragg, not the jackass Rick Bragg. ;)
Writing for free publications gives you the opportunity to do that. To expand your 'writerly horizons.'
