   	Oh, not at all. They're things that give me the ability to spend more   
   time writing. Contracts justify the time I spend writing to my family.   
   Taking days out of my very limited spare time to sit by myself typing   
   stories is hard to justify without a contract showing that not only have   
   I been paid to do this, but I'll be paid MORE when I finish it.   
      
   	This also takes some stress OFF of me, by paying for stuff that I need   
   done and can't otherwise afford. Less stress = better writing.
