A great rant here, Jenny. Also a great piece of writing on a subject more folks need to be aware of.

Like you, I have spent my life practicing and perfecting my craft and art. It is who I am, and I can't imagine using someone else's work, for free, to illustrate my stories here.

This world is full of both givers and takers. You can be proud of the fact that you are a GIVER. I'm with you all the way.

And thanks for the mention, I'm smiling here.
