WHY WRITE IF IT’S NOT TO GET RICH?

Every writer should ask themselves this question: Why Do I Write?

I can’t answer for other writers but for me the answer is simple: I write because I love to write. I publish because my hope is that readers will find something in my books, be it enjoyment, escapism, or maybe a common element that comforts them.

But I don’t write to get rich. Now mind you, if that were to happen I’d shed only tears of happiness, but I don’t find money to be a driving force for me.

So why do I write? Because I have to. Because if I don’t write there’s a void inside of me that can’t be filled by anyone or anything other than my fingers tapping the keyboard and seeing where my characters are going to take me. For fiction writers, it’s a feeling that is indescribable. 

Writing is frustrating, joyous, fulfilling and a dozen other feelings for me and if my books bring enjoyment to others, well, that’s a pretty good feeling to experience.

So why do I write if it’s not for the money? It’s the most common reason known to mankind: I write because it makes me feel good.

Happy reading!
