]]> <![CDATA[How to coast to a writing career]]> No, Penguin's right. When I said CEOs, I didn't mean the guys with three-person startups and no funding. Until bloggers start buying $3 million houses in Marin -- best weather in the world for working from home -- I won't believe they're making as much as the guys who run real companies. I have an idea what the Boing Boingers make. It's very good for a writer, but your average WSJ reader wouldn't trade places.

If your blog is any good, you should hit a point where you don't need to whore yourself to editors. And if you play it smart, you'll be making more than most of those CEOs you get fake quotes from.

So true.
