How does one attach any meaningful hourly rate to a creative project 
such as the authorship of a book?  Or the months of thinking, 
preparation, and any-spare-moment tweaking that go into the writing of a

(say) 2000-word article that earns some flat fee?  Or the preparation 
time and expertise that went into the playing of a concert that earned 
some flat fee?
