If I took a poll of writers, I’d bet the vast majority would say they write because they love to. I’m one of them. Writing is a passion for me, a way of caring for myself and having fun.
But that’s not everything there is to it.
Now I’m not talking about making money, though if you’re a professional writer this is certainly a necessary evil.
I’m talking about communication. What does communication need? A speaker, a message, and a hearer.
So what I’m saying is you could have an amazing message, and you can shout it out there, but if no one is listening, you haven’t communicated. Your writing isn’t achieving its full potential.
How do we as writers get our message heard?
