Exactly. What a lot of people don't realize is that the pay rate for fiction writing hasn't increased very much over time, and it certainly hasn't increased to match inflation. Back in the 70s when you earned a couple hundred for a short story, that went a lot further than now, when you can possibly earn a couple hundred for a short story... IF you're lucky, because the market for short fiction has shrunk and supply exceeds demand.

That's why I sort of cringe when people go, "OMG, $3,000 for a novel is a lot of money why are people complaining?!?" It's attitudes like that that have contributed to writers getting the shaft. Publishers don't have to pay very much for the average novel because there are always writers who are desperate to give away their work for peanuts. Again, supply exceeds demand.
