I believe that writing is an art. The true writer, like an artist, derives great pleasure in creating a perfectly constructed written piece.
For him, the joy of publication, readability and communicating far outweighs any monetary compensation that could be derived or attached to his sense of creativity.
The passionate writer will never be wary of writing, neither will he be discouraged by little or no pay. The true writer sees his ability to write as a gift to others, and he is unruffled if he gets no remuneration for his efforts.
More often than not, the motivation of the writer is fueled, and the flame kept alive only by the art of writing.

Hey Janet
What do you like to write?
You will find in the blogging world that many of us like to write. I would have like to have been able to see your style and interest, but unfortunately this was your first post.
Hey Marg,
I like to write about all kinds of stuff. I particularly enjoy writing
christian based articles.
Thanks Frederick. I also like to write, but this is my first attempt in the blogging world. I'm sure with time you will get a delightful sample of my style,
I think blogging is so popular because everyone loves to write...
I noticed you have only 1 post.
Do keep posting !!
More posts please :)
I agree with your article. I'm an artist and the same applies to me. Visit my blog and you may want to add blogrush to your blog site. It's in my side bar, just click on the bottom of it to learn about it.

I love your passion and approach to writing. More posts please!
How very true that writing should be for pleasure, not money. Which is why, coincidentally, my story is absolutely free. Please take a look and see what you think, and remember that it's all in reverse order!
Oh, in case you want to know what it's about, it's a sort of supernatural-crime-fantasy-action-comedy. Enjoy!
Though I agree that writers should be artists I think that can be said for most things. I want my professors to do what they are doing because they are passionate about it and want to communicate knowledge to the best of their abilities, but the inept ones are no less professors for not being so. So I don't really agree with your definition of a 'true' writer. I do like your passion though, I have always maintained that writing (whether you aim to publish or not) is a passion and not a hobby. I bite people who say otherwise.
Jakec: I'm looking, supernatural fantasy crime just has to grab attention...especially the comic sort.
Thank you all for your comments. I have been indisposed for a while but I promise to keep the posts coming.
I wish you all a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
