Thanks for the thought provoking post ((:

Me too, I wanted to be a writer since young.

This truly resonated with me:

She fervently believed the whole idea that a spiritual or creative life had to be lived in poverty and austerity was bogus, and being perpetuated societal mythology more than anything; a mythology so powerful that even the artists themselves came to believe that they only "deserved" to get starvation in return for their expressions.

While I think that we shouldn't make art or create just for the money, I don't see why we cannot strive to be authentic (as we possibly can, to ourselves) and command decent/fair value for our creations.

And while I'm not on Steemit solely for the money, I do hope and believe that Steemit will one day allow me to do just that.

Do you have some thoughts on this issue? It's much appreciated. (:

Thanks once again!
