Reading it, I was inspired to comment, and rereading my comment before hitting submit I decided I wanted to post it here as well, just as a general reflection of life.
Go and read her post, but I think my response just about stands on its own as well.
I fully understand that this is true and I've always been happy to cry "that sucks" on behalf of all and any authors.
I just realised as I read your post that I mean that on a really true, deep and fundamental level as well as on the immediate response one.
After my family and friends, books and the people and stories I find within them are one of my greatest joys. It is totally unfair that the people that sweat blood to give me that joy are so poorly rewarded when others get outrageous amounts of money for seemingly ridiculous things - and certainly ones that don't give such great joy to others.
Yeah, that sucks.
