Re: "Don't prostitute your art that way"
No. Absolutely not. If I want to write full-time, then money must exchange hands. Writing while living on the street corner and eating from the local homeless shelter is not half as glamorous as it sound. There is suffering for one's art and there is suffering for one's art. I don't mind doing the one (well, sometimes I mind), but the other is just way over-the-top.
