Although I've only had poetry and short stories published, I know that novelists don't make much more money per hour than I do. <br />I write because I love to. I write because I like to share my thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and imagination with others. <br />I know there probably won't be a million dollar paycheck in my future . . . but alas, I haven't totally given up all crazy hope of that.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-34846329931576685352010-10-28T12:16:18.354-04:002010-10-28T12:16:18.354-04:00LOL!

I was actually serious, but I guess it's kind of tongue-in-cheek.<br /><br />Yes, we need to be well rooted in reality, but we can't let reality drive what we do. First, if you do, it means you have no hope that tomorrow's reality will be different than today's. Second, it also says something about the extent to which you believe in yourself, your craft and your ability to get better. If you don't believe and you have no hope, why bother?<br /><br />So many young people have no hope, which is one reason why they make such poor decisions. <i>If tomorrow isn't going to be any better than today, I might as well...</i><br /><br />But if they could dream really big--really, really big--and believe in their dreams, they'd be more motivated not to screw up the possibilities.<br /><br />One of the best--and worst--decisions I ever made was to enter a technical field because it promised held more financial promise. More money? Maybe, although still not as much as I had hoped. Fun and fulfillment? Very little. In the big picture, which matters more?PatriciaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572087157439187319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-23092940089020827692010-10-28T11:46:34.054-04:002010-10-28T11:46:34.054-04:00I just love the thought that something I wrote ent...I just love the thought that something I wrote entertained or moved someone.

I don't think any of us would turn down "making it big", but that's not why we're doing it. And even though the money isn't always great, I think that hearing back from readers is quite a rich payment. I look forward to (and am terrified of, lol) hearing what readers think once my book comes out!Roni Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719679344024635326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-6422769467407754122010-10-28T09:35:29.932-04:002010-10-28T09:35:29.932-04:00I love to write.

I can't imagine not doing it, but I can't actually pinpoint 'why'. I suppose you then have to ask yourself if you really 'need' a answer to the 'why'. Why was I born female? Because that's just how I was made. I guess that's my answer to the 'why' regarding writing. :o)Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-31594910485748202002010-10-28T01:08:41.050-04:002010-10-28T01:08:41.050-04:00Jody, when I'm late to the party, as I often a...Jody, when I'm late to the party, as I often am these days, I wonder if my comments will even get read or matter, but I do want you to know I'm here and reading. I definitely am not motivated by the thought of making it really big. I honestly can say...I don't think I would want that. I really mean that! But I do love the power that words carry and the thought that I might affect people in a good way with mine. There are few things as wonderful. <br /><br />Keep on enjoying the thrill of the ride you're on!<br /><br />XXOORoxane B.

Thankfully, my husband is the breadwinner, so I don't feel the pressure to earn money. <br /><br />However, even if I did need to bring in money by getting a real job, I'd still be writing!
