Just shows you have to write because you want to, not because of the money.<br /><br />And yes, definitely consult a tax account. There are a number of writer expenses that are considered tax deductible (depending where you live).Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971798860443757706.post-74771015912084470182010-06-29T20:51:37.317-07:002010-06-29T20:51:37.317-07:00Hmmm...I could totally live with an extra $2k.... ...Hmmm...I could totally live with an extra $2k.... :D :DDebra Drizahttp://www.houndrat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971798860443757706.post-14260686138729828452010-06-29T17:58:56.994-07:002010-06-29T17:58:56.994-07:00Great post, Holen.

I...Gahhh....I totally meant to have that in there.<br /><br />I'd originally had this post as a lot more numbers and a lot fewer words, but I changed, and must've deleted that line. You're completely right, fivecats!<br /><br />Also, I'm a tax accountant in real life, so I couldn't agree more on consulting a professional. My numbers here were to show how easily that advance gets whittled away - and shouldn't be interpreted as advice.Hmathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436939108433051372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971798860443757706.post-43989673604299033052010-06-29T12:30:25.841-07:002010-06-29T12:30:25.841-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hmathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436939108433051372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971798860443757706.post-52852208232877783642010-06-29T11:53:06.725-07:002010-06-29T11:53:06.725-07:00Uhg.
