| >>The only reason to write a quality book is vanity at this point.<< No, not always...the reason some strive to write a "quality" book, is not money, though for some that would be nice...a bit of fame, as well... Money is not a god...it's a fungible thing that people can use to buy almost whatever they wish...things to play with, time to pursue interests, security for those they love... Some are "driven" to write, and for such people writing well is the goal...this is because they see what can happen when a writer writes well...a great work can define a time, change minds for the better, illuminate otherwise overlooked aspects of life...and lives... Writing is a passion, for some, just like coding or problem solving is to some of us in this community...or, like hitting a "home run" financially is for entrepreneurs... They didn't choose this passion, it chose them... I admire them...let's not sell them short...they're much like us...passions differ... |
