Actually, ...I write so I can hang out with writers. Actually, many of those reasons you gave were my original motives. I suspect many drop out of the game once they realize how unrealistic those goals are. Those of us that remain change our goals. Now I write because I simply love to create stories. Too simplistic? Maybe so, but why is okay for a painter to paint for fun but a writer must sell to be successful? Of course I want to sell. But that can't be my motivation. If it is, then the joy is gone and I'm probably better off taking a second job delivering pizza. So, yeah, I write because it's fun (except when it's not...but that's another topic).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-38775519209387075482014-03-03T12:02:46.959-05:002014-03-03T12:02:46.959-05:00It did help to write our thoughts on paper (or com...It did help to write our thoughts on paper (or computer) doesn't it?
