Maybe guys who write for Rolling Stone and Esquire are on retainer, but freelance writing is tough. You submit your piece and then cross your fingers that they pay you within 2-3 months...if ever. If you don't like it there are lots of other starving writers who will gladly take the work. #10 The problem is that magazine writing doesn’t work that way.

I run a security company and I get screwed all the time on payment...and that even when they sign contracts! Too bad we cant send James "The Colossus" Thomson to collect for us!
