Written by Taylor - 39 Comments This discussion we’ve been having about whether bloggers should get paid for their work is fascinating, and I think it’s pretty great that the whole MwP community here has been so level-headed and thoughtful about it. To hear them tell it, bloggers who don’t give it away have turned positively abusive.

One of the biggest barriers facing a new writer – a blogger, a novelist, a copywriter – is the self-knowledge of just how far away you are from their ideal. When I first started copywriting, I was afraid to show my work to anyone. I was afraid to show first drafts to my colleagues. Another rockin' post from Men with Pens!

The people whose fans would knife you if you said an ill word against their favorite blogger. But those bloggers aren’t realistic, and they aren’t of any use to you unless you feel like sitting around and watching someone else talk about how great they are. Bloggers can be relentless, especially in pointing out the flaws in others.
