I can understand some of what you say about the RWA Pro Pen, and I agree to an extent. I'm one of the Pro's you are talking about, and I admit I've not been as serious about my writing in the past as I should've been. The reason RWA developed the Pro program was in a sincere effort to help more of their members to finish a book. To complete one book doesn't mean you know how to write or that you'll ever get published but if that author writes another or more it shows she can finish her story and may get published in the future. The Pro Pen is an incentive to work toward this goal.

Sincerely,
Sandy Marshall
