DO I GET A COMMISSION FOR THIS?

Sometimes I get accused of wanting to do too much. There is some truth, there -- I have difficulties saying no to story assignments and often pitch more ideas than I could ever possibly have time to publish without earning significant overtime. That's not because I want to deprive anyone else of happy fun goodness. I simply have too many ideas running around in my little brain and want to let them all run loose.
