The thought of writing "on demand" makes me shudder. Though I've occasionally written to a prompt, I dislike it intensely, and I have no wish to prostitute myself to the almighty dollar. Having said that, I'm not starving quite yet, who knows what I'll do in the future? 
It's a very fortunate writer who can tap into a market that will pay for what he produces on a whim. Although I'm not sure that such a writer should necessarily be deemed a great artist; usually, such a writer is simply someone who's shagged someone famous and written a memoir.

It could be worse
