I also think, different strokes for different folks. I don’t write for money or acknowledgment (though they are welcome). Writing your best original story is akin to giving birth to a special child (for lack of a better analogy, sorry, I just woke up). You love your baby no matter what. You don’t care how it’s adored by others. All that matters is how much you love your baby.
Ok, maybe I need some coffee now.
