Pro Writing Quizzes

[robkelk]

There are a few quizzes out there that let you determine whether you're a professional writer. http://whatever.scalzi.com/2013/08/05/p ... nd-result/]John Scalzi posted one to his blog yesterday, and it's the first one that I've been able to see the logic behind:

Here’s the actual quiz for knowing whether you are a pro writer or not:

1. Are you getting paid to write?

If the answer here is “yes,” then congratulations, you’re a professional writer! Well done you (if not, then “no.” Sorry).

For the context, go read the blog entry. Actually, go read the blog entry anyway - it has a lot to say on matters that don't necessarily involve pro writing.
