Why Do You Write?
This is a question every writer should have an answer to, so as to write with a purpose.
But, If you do not have an immediate answer to this question as a writer who’s just starting out, that’s okay. Most of us didn’t have an idea from the onset and were thrown off-ballance when asked – we only realized the reason with time.

When the purpose of a thing is not established, effectiveness will be lacking. Besides, such a thing won’t stand the test of time. Like every other endeavor, the one who writes should have a purpose for it. In my case, I write to satisfy my creative needs; to give expression to my thoughts and ideas; to make positive impacts on folks and to live a lasting mark on the sands of time. Meanwhile, I should start working towards making money from it.
Instructive post.
