And hey, if we get rich too, that's great. But it shouldn't be the sole purpose otherwise I can imagine a whole lotta unhappiness and head bashing. And really, who needs it? (Head bashing bruises)<br />I JUST went indie and not to make my millions (although like I said, I won't complain if it happens) but because I have a good book and I want others to read it. And hey, it's been fun so far. <br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839584506001378073.post-58270049314845786152011-07-13T15:03:24.104+10:002011-07-13T15:03:24.104+10:00Writing is definitely not a get rich quick scheme-...Writing is definitely not a get rich quick scheme--sometimes it works out that way, but if you're looking to get rich there are easier ways of doing it.Bonnie Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370979121510491598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839584506001378073.post-71574085326906030922011-07-13T06:03:08.926+10:002011-07-13T06:03:08.926+10:00This is a really great post and a good reminder of...This is a really great post and a good reminder of why we write.David M.

Immortality of my words on the page. Of course, that doesn't help me or my family; nor did the praise that Kafka earned after death. What the hell, we write because we do. If it sells, great, if not, I'll keep writing anyway. I know more than a few words, I'm literate, it's my right.Kennethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16216739536504652624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839584506001378073.post-46817577510343203472011-07-13T00:07:20.797+10:002011-07-13T00:07:20.797+10:00An excellent post, Jonathan.

You should also try and interact with as many people as possible to try and build successful relationships. I left a post on your Facebook wall last week which I'm still waiting for a reply to ; )I'm not accusing you of ignoring me - you just probably haven't seen it yet. But I thought this was a good place to mention it : ) <br />P.S. I've tweeted this for you, hopefully you'll get a lot of hits as a result.LK Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366991733427612418noreply@blogger.com
