I agree with KankaiRiver 100 per cent when s/he says, "Sometimes you do things because you want to realise your full potential." If you write for fame and/or money or to achieve some other EXTERNAL medals, chances are you will NOT get any. Ever. But If you write for your ownself because you really, really enjoy writing, and enjoy everything that's associated with the writing process, THEN fame and money may eventually follow you. No great writer has ever said, "I do it for money or fame." But most have said, "I can't imagine doing anything else." oohi ashu
