Discussion: What are Your Goals as a Writer?
The supreme objective.
In reference to my previous topic of Making Money with Triond, I learned that most people that use freelance writing and blogging are not doing it as a means to fulfill a paycheck. One reason for this is the simple fact that it can’t! The other reasons deal with the fact that in order to be a true writer, your focus must not be on revenue, rather the enjoyment and satisfaction of writing.
This discussion topic serves two purposes. I’m primarily curious of what you want to be as a writer, whether it is to be famous, rich, or the most feasible reason: I just want to share my ideas! Everyone has a unique approach to their writing and I’d love to hear them all!
Secondly, I’m curious as to what your favorite part of the writing process is. Some people love the preliminary stages of creating characters and situations, others love the reaction of the readers. Some people have no idea where their story is headed so they love watching their writing unfold! It truly is magical.

Good discussion question, well written article.
I don’t think about money when I write. I enjoy research, but I tend to overdo the research and then I get bogged down. With no assignments or deadlines, it is too easy to just start a new project.
My favourite part of the writing process is when I get in the zone – that state where it seems like the article or story is writing itself and I am just frantically typing to keep up. Unfortunately, I don’t know the way to the zone, it just comes to me every now and again, and not usually before midnight.

I love to express my feelings and see how I can improve my work. Money comes 2nd, as it’s a nice bonus to my college fund. I’m sure you want some money also, so I clicked on your google ads.
