Never write for the money, write for the joy of writing. If you write for the money, then you'll never feel the warm glow of success. Writing is all about falling in love with the process, not the outcome. Enjoy the journey and you'll find that the money follows you eventually. I'm 4 years in and still having a wonderful time - I don't really check the stats or the money, it comes, it goes. What matters is the words. Keep up with the words :o)
