Examine Your Motivation in Writing

Examine your motivation in writing before starting to write. Do you want to get rich? Do you want to convince somebody of something? Do you want to popularize a cause?

Experienced writers should examine their motivations, too. Their motivations might have changed over the years.

The best way to get rich as a writer is to not be a writer. Become famous or infamous for something else, then write.

I write because I can’t not write.
