Former Washingtonian editor Jack Limpert discusses the new reality of writing for a living — too few markets that pay well: "Maybe being a good writer increasingly will have to be an avocation – you'll need to earn real money doing something other than writing unless you marry well. It's hard to see how and where the digital world is going to support good article and book writing. Most of the writers I know in digital journalism jobs have to write short and often."
