The Writers' Mill Anthem
The Writers' Mill Anthem
(to the tune of Born Free)
By Erik Sherman
Write free
As free as the grass grows
Who cares where the cash goes?
Write free, and follow your heart
Work free, and readers surround you
Exposure astounds you
Although you live in a car
Type free, no business controls you
You're free as the roaring tide
Though your net worth will slide
Write free, your publisher's living
But only well living
'cause you write free
Type free, no business controls you
You're free as the roaring tide
Though your net worth will slide
Write free, your publisher's living
But only well living
'cause you write free
(Feel free to distribute to any writer who considers working for nothing. And you can blame Randy Hecht, as she's the one who suggested I write this in the first place.)
