One Cent a Word

I received an acceptance on a story at 1¢ per word. Unfortunately it was only one of those 100 word drabbles that I wrote one afternoon. If I wrote and sold 39 of these every day I would just make it out of the official poverty level. 137 drabbles per day would bring up to U.S. median household income (50,000 per year). Now all I have to do is find a market that buys 50,000 drabbles a year.
