Three types of hacks

Gestural sketches of workhorses, from the shire.

This is a split of creative professional work, which creativity may not work or pay off. They actually deny clients to find better.

After the decision to becoming a hack, due to one must be having to make a living. For either attention or funds to make a living. With mediocre clients being the only available. Three tiers of this sub-category.

  • Honest Hack

  • Scab

What Harlen Ellison says with their creativity, "They can't write themselves out of a pay toilet."
