We have too many writers who have nothing to say, but feel they have to say something because they're getting paid to do so or because they think they have to or everybody is going to be bored to death.
So they create this great sense of urgency hoping to keep our interest -- and thus, when they really have something to say, nobody is around to listen anymore because they've cried "Wolf," once too often.
The work of a good writer, is also knowing when not to lower one's standards and write what doesn't need to be written.
What's a professional writer to do?
Return the money, so you can live with yourself -- rather than sharing your angst and self-loathing with everyone else.
Look at all those people who have sold their souls to the New York Times and Washington Post. Selling out the world for a few lousy bucks!
