Well, it does seem unreasonable to call Hensher ungrateful; like anyone Hensher has no duty to write except when it pleases him. But Hensher does talk about how this would affect those with aspirations to be writers and I don't think we should do anything to encourage young people to become professional writers. Yes, let's encourage them to write, but don't sell them on the dream of making their living that way, because for all but a few people, that's just not possible. Simply, there are lots of people that want to write, but the number of people paying for writing isn't enough to support very many professional writers. No different than anything else. I may be a Tai Chi master and want to teach Tai Chi (I don't even do Tai Chi, this is just an example), but Tai Chi is something people enjoy doing and there are many other instructor level Tai Chi practitioners. But that doesn't mean there are enough paying Tai Chi students to support all of us.
