Haha! I echo that sentiment! Serialized fiction for free?? Wow. That's a doozy!

Your words rang true for me in similar ways and I hope you'll drop by check it out!

I'm here at Writers in the Storm the fourth Monday of every month. And while it was outside the scope of this post, you are certainly right that there are many ways writers can pick up extra cash. But once you have a book, you'll still have to figure out how to deal with all of the requests for the generosity of your time and property.

Well done. I would suggest to the readers here that doing freelance can and does pay and it's a good way to support one's fiction addiction. Ok, it doesn't pay well unless you are a big name, or work your ass off, but at least it is writing for money. Freelance jobs can keep you in the game while creating a platform. Just something to consider in the writing life. Johnathan Maberry and many others found financial success that way.

Kathryn Craft examines how much of ourselves we should give away. […]

Yes, yes, yes. Jane this is exactly it. Here's what a friend of mine has done: put together a list of resources (craft books, local and online organizations, helpful blogs) and either cut-and-paste them into an email (if you want the personal touch) or put them on your website and refer inquiries there. If you never start talking you won't be so tempted. We are so passionate about writing it's quite not fair to ask us to open our mouths sometimes—we don't even realize how the time is flying!

Richard boy do you have me pegged. PhD from the School of Hard Knocks! Those speaking gigs can be great fun, but its best to weigh everything, as you demonstrated.
