i mostly write for profit
and every penny i made went to the down payment on my house. yay! but i do miss the days of my youth when i would write just for fun.... now deadlines and timelines give me a tougher schedule to abide by. Best wishes! :)

I write because I love it, but it would be nice to make money at it.

I write because I have to do so. I write Christian teaching materials. I do it for free. I would love to be paid. I simply write on here because when I don't I feel handicapped.

Well I love to write and challenge others...but money also would be great
I am currently working on a cookbook and a true story.  I can only hope for success when they are completed.

I agree with Afzal, I also
write for fun.  However, things are changing, and it looks like I'm going to make a crossover.  Why not give it a try, right? Take care
