Even if I never make any money at it, I would still do it because I enjoy sharing that part of me with eveyone else.<br /><br />For the time being, I share most of my non-fiction/real world writings on my blog. As for my fiction, I shared a great deal of it on a story blog last year, but now I'm content share bits, pieces and parts to solicit tips and comments on how I can improve it.<br /><br />And on the rare occasion, I'll throw out a short piece of silly flash just for fun of it all.G.

It would be nice to make money doing what I love, but if I had to treat writing like a day job, the joy would be lost.Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-3158592434994782102010-11-29T10:56:51.070-05:002010-11-29T10:56:51.070-05:00I generally write nonfiction for money and fiction...I generally write nonfiction for money and fiction for the love of it. Even for nonfiction, though, my sole motive isn't money. It's just that it's easier to make money from nonfiction and I get opportunities. For fiction, however, I've actually turned down opportunities if it wasn't something I really wanted to do. I have a day job so I feel like I can keep the focus of my fiction writing on the sheer joy I get out of it.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
