Net Working and Getting to Know People

You put in far more hours preparing for those relationships than most people do pitching. And then when the pay off comes, it feels like it's come for free. If we looked at our hourly rate from writing, certainly for those of us like me who write really slowly and throw away more words than we publishit would not be worth us doing this. But if that net working has been going to parties, if it's been cocktails or a nice walk with other writers, then actually that there's a really blurred line, isn't there, between net working and just getting know people.
