"People who would consider it a bizarre breach of conduct to expect anyone to give them a haircut or a can of soda at no cost will ask you, with a straight face and a clear conscience, whether you wouldn’t be willing to write an essay or draw an illustration for them for nothing."
Of course part of the problem is that there is so much writing out there available free. Being a writer is like being a hairdresser in a place where anyone can get a free haircut just about anywhere. It might not be exactly the haircut you want, or from the hairdresser you'd prefer, but it gets you into the mindset that haircuts are, essentially, free.
