For Love or Money?

I love to write.  I like to read it later after I’ve forgotten what I wrote, which happens very quickly for me…  It’s not necessarily good writing, but that’s irrelevant as far as how much I looooovvve it.

And then there’s makin money at it.  Oh yeah, that.  Sometimes that feels like trying to reach out and grab the golden ring on a merry-go-round traveling its’ circle at lightening speed.  How exactly is that possible?

And sometimes it feels like writing for money and writing for the love of writing are just mutually exclusive.  What’s that Sigmund – you say that’s my problem?  Hmmmm.

Well, recently I met a man named Bill Belew who teaches how to do a bit of both.  At his blogging workshop, my cliché experience occurred – The Light Bulb came on.  The epiphany hit me.  By Jove.

I do think that ‘writing for the love of it and reader be dammed’ calls to me.  Still, it’s nice to have taken his workshop, gained all this knowledge and be able to use it when I’m ready.

    Isn’t it better to make money doing something you love than something that makes you miserable? Wishing you the best in making money doing what you love!
