RE: Why write? ...Why create anything at all?
One of the things I love about Steemit is the ability to hone my craft as a writer by experimenting and trying things I might not have on other platforms. The money's just a side-effect.
The big truth of life is that creating almost anything is far superior to not creating it. Doing something to put value into the world, no matter how minuscule that value is, beats not putting value into the world every last time.
I like your way of thinking (and Pressfield's too) that 'success' is the wrong goal to seek. If it finds us, then fantastic. Great. We lucked out. 'To finish' is a much easier goal than 'success', and to create with that mindset, that we just need to get it done because if we don't then no one else will, hopefully ensures a steady stream of effort. :)
I agree with you. Thank you for resteeming the nice post. there are lots of people whose goal is making money. how nice to think that the money is just a side-effect.
