Write me a contract like that.

Beverly Hills 1971.
I was working the credit department of a fashionable department store at the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax. A professional appearing gentleman wearing a nice tailored suit came to me at the credit desk and said he was turned down for a store credit card. So, I asked him to fill in the necessary information on a credit application and I would call the central credit office. His occupation, as he wrote it on the application, was writer. He said he wrote scrips for TV programs. Now remember this was 1971.
So, I dialed the credit approval office and reading off the information to the credit department associate and came across monthly income. The gentleman wrote $5000 per month. And again, this was 1971. A seemingly huge amount when most of us were making about $650 a month. A writer. Probably a member of the Writers Guild of America or WGA. The same organization now on strike in Hollywood. If his salary is typical for most experienced writers then boys and girls I am in the wrong business.
