I agree writers should be paid. Part of the problem with writers of short stories, articles and poetry is that too many give too much of their talent away and then expect to be paid for their talent later. How many novels are published for free?

On the other hand, venues that do not pay are missing the point of consideration when they accept only previously unpublished work.

If I were to combine both of these mindsets, much sooner than later all of my work would be published for free and I'd have to live off exposure, something far less sustaining than love which, even at its best, hardly puts food on the table.
