When I got my masters in creative writing, the program director told us, almost daily, not to expect to make money from our writing. We would not be getting rich. It was a harsh, but realistic view. His point was that we should be writing for the right reasons. You shouldn’t be creating so that you become the next Stephen King. You should be writing to express your views and commentary on the world around you.
