Writing for Free?

I don’t write for free as much as I used to. I used to mostly because nobody was paying me to write. Now they do, so I don’t give it away for free as much as I used to (except for my personal website.) When I do do it, often it’s a favor for a friend, or a place that pays maybe in recognition but not in actual money. Some of you out there are probably writing more for free than for pay, and some of you are adamantly against nonpaying work. There’s a little miin-debate about when it’s a good idea and when not over here at Writers-World that might be of interest for those of you on the fence on the issue.
