Well thought-out, Lail. Creatives, whether in music or books or spoken word, have entered an era when remuneration is small, if it comes at all. In the '60s, every last penny of a kid's allowance went to buying record albums. In the '70s, everyone on the tube was reading a hardback novel, or at least a Penguin. Those eras are as vanished as the cigarette smoke that punctuated them. Instead of everyone puffing, heads are bent over devices. Perhaps it's all back to an era of serial subscription (Dickens) or patronage (Mozart). Onwards in any case, by whatever means work can find its way to an audience.

Ooh how exciting!! Your writing is so brilliant — your words already leap off the page. Adding in the audio component is going to be a delight!

please don’t abandon ‘its’ in its hour of need. Don’t confuse ‘its’ with ‘it’s’, which only ever means ‘it is’.
