There's a price however. Too much #free devalues our work. It gets lost in a plethora of free and lowers expectations. Authors can't make a living. Personally, it takes me a year to write a book--that's working 12 hours a day and oftentimes 6 days a week, so you can see how "free" becomes problematic.

The sad truth.
So true, unfortunately. Making a living as a writer/artist/etc. is already hard enough on its own. Now that free offerings are such a norm...the struggles are just so much more prevalent. :/
