Yep - I can vouch for the fact that writing magazine articles and books is not financially rewarding. If I divided the amount I earn from these sources by the number of hours I spent on them, I would end up earning less than the legal minimum wage...however, the satisfaction of seeing new information in print is worthwhile.
