... but for damned sure, sell yourself. Anyone who takes the advice in this article is nuts. Rewriting an article to perfection five times, has done five times the work for 100% less pay, in most cases.
The remark about feedback is a little misguided... I care far less about what editors think than what fans think. I don't need "practice" working for someone's preconceived ideas about how to write for a small industry, when by getting published early and often, I can hear from the people who use my work what is working and what isn't.
If people only worked at something because the pay was solid, Stan Lee would have left Marvel in the 60s and the latest Star Wars movie would be directed by Joey Schumacher when Lucas opted for royalties over creative control.
This article basically amounts to, "If you want to work in Broadway, don't do theater in high school and for god's sake, don't take a gig with the community choir."
