90% of Authors Don't Earn a full Time Income from Writing

I was surprised...

Just one in ten authors can earn full-time living from writing, report finds - The Telegraph

And 17% got no pay in a year!

There are many online publications, where authors are not paid for articles.

The good news is with eBook publishing, more authors are able to make more money. It's a huge change in the industry. I hope Amazon continues to pay 70% to Indies.

Success by Being Less Asian?

Unfortunately, I need to agree with the article.

Stereotypes are mental short cuts, and the admission process deluges admission offices with a huge amounts of applications, and somehow the overworked admission people need to reduce it substantially. And with too many Asian applicants, they look for looking for Asian applicants who stand out. And how to stand out? By doing less of the Asian typical activities. No racket sports. More Leadership, definitely a sport. And the typical non-profit type activities. And choose a major that is seen as less Asian.
