Hi, I'm Kari -- new DAW writer, been lurking here for a while. I had the identical reaction to Richard Morgan's post. And your comments here are spot on. I daresay that somewhere out there is someone who writes purely for money and succeeds at it, but I doubt they write fat fantasy trilogies. (My guess would be they write short-life span financial non-fiction.) Fiction written solely to sell lacks a centre and readers notice.
Please excuse me chipping in.
