Yeah, the lack of lucrative markets doesn't stop most of the writers I know either (poetry OR prose). And now I recall seeing your Poetry Fishbowl (that's you? cool). It seems like you have pretty good support and patronage, yay.
I've been very happy to see crowdfunding develop as a source of income for artists of many kinds (among other things). Though grumpily I still think that our society (including the government!) should do more to support and encourage the arts. But that's a diffent post.
