That's how the government sees it in real life, BTW. I’m able to avoid all sorts of local taxes because I’m not in the resale business (which I have been in the past). My publishing company “creates” rather than “re-sells,” so I don’t have to worry about several sorts of taxes that apply to re-sellers.  A recital or live reading of a work is a performance, but when you create something you are using the Craft skill.  Someone above mentioned recording music. Again, if it is a live recording (at a concert, perhaps) it would be Perform, but a studio recording is definitely a Craft. The artist may be “performing” in the studio, but the engineer, the producer and anyone else involved with the editing, mixing, and production are using “Craft” to create the best recording possible from the various performances.  As for "profession," I think that would be involved more with your ability to sell your craft, sometimes via performances, but also through finding distributors, retailers and an audience. The Profession skill would also involve your ability to write a business plan, balance the books, and run a basic marketing plan.Edit: [shamelss plug] BTW, I just released a sort of short prose poem, <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=3088&" target="_blank">right here. </a> check out my Craft (writing) skill!  And, no, I won't be giving any performances. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> [/shameless plug]</blockquote>
