NASW member Christie Aschwanden explains on Last Word on Nothing: "Since becoming an official LWON contributor last June, I’ve written almost 30 posts, about one every 12 days. For this work, I’ve received exactly zero dollars, zero prizes and zero resume-worthy rewards ... And I can honestly say that LWON is the best thing that’s happened in my writing life during the past year ... I can follow my follies and explore ideas that no one else cares about."
