Why do you write?
Why do I write? Good question. I just can’t think of anything
quite as satisfying even if I never make a dime out of it.
Because it’s what I love to do. This is the best reason. Also,
living in a fantasy world is rather fun, not to mention playing
God. However, to quote Dr. Samuel Johnson. “Sir, no man but
a blockhead ever wrote except for money”. Which may seem to
contradict the comment above, but let’s face it, not a lot of
writers are prepared to invest such a great deal of effort and
time on something just for the fun of it.
