Talent!

[billy]

i agree, as long as the person has read what you wrote before the cheque's cleared, and as long as it's not a relative and as long as it's a talented piece of work. i've read many a book where the author seemed to be lacking in talent, i never paid for it but someone must have.
why the light bill what about if you pay for a hooker with the money....it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper and far more stylish don'tcha think

Stephen King's definition:

:' "If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented'' '

Agree? Disagree? More pithy one? Your own?
