Fantasy author, textile nerd, chicken herder, trespasser, that weird writing prof on the third floor.
Sometimes methinks certain partakers of creative work don’t realize that it was made using labor just like potatoes and eggs…

I can only answer for myself, but secondhand shops often fill a community niche for literature and reading joy and I’m totally cool having only made my money once on the books they resell.

And library copies (physical or digital) are paid so authors get some money from those!

YEP. “Why are you no longer making the thing I enjoy what do you mean you burned out trying to earn enough for rent and groceries?”

The library rocks and many regions have some fantastic used bookstores!

It's interesting how easily a lot of ppl say oh it's over, it's inevitable just use it.

Most Artists I know aren't like that. From day one. They are built different. They are resistant to conformity. You're not going to tell them what to do or say.

Don't tell me what to say gpt. I speak for me.

It ended up cheaper than Joanne’s but it does come at the cost of storage space 😂

It’s frustrating! I started buying basics (elastic in various sizes, hooks and eyes, snaps, invisible zippers in black and white, thread in my most used colors, etc) in bulk during the height of the pandemic years and I’m glad I stumbled into that strategy.

Seriously! I don’t need “help” like that!

Shoot, this is just smart planning! (Honestly I’ve come to believe that when you find a style or brand you love, stock up, because that’s like gold. No other pressures or rationales needed.)
