I'm not sure what to say...I feel a mixture of awe of the power of art thru technology and utter flabbergastation(?sp) at how much money she made.

I'm clearly not with the 'it' technology of the times. People still play Atari, right?

So if I read that right, she's written 110,000 stories at up to 1,000 words each. Just for fun, assuming 800 words on average, $600K for 88 million words is 0.7 cents per word. But yeah, while the pay rate might be mediocre, that's a fair amount of volume!

Haven't even tried texting yet...I don't even like to talk on the phone with my voice...

I was thinking...maybe it's easier to text in Japanese than it would be in English. But I know nothing about either.
