Write For Nothing at All

[Jan M. Flynn]

Well said -- and well written.

[Remy Bazerque]

Thank you Jan.

“All creative work is mystical. How dare they demystify it? How dare they think they can demystify it? Especially when they can’t write. How arrogant it is to assume that you know the market, that you know what’s popular today. Only Steven Spielberg knows what’s popular today. So leave it to him. He’s the only one in the history of man who has ever figured that out.” John Milius

[Jean Marchal]

Very good and thank you for this post. Write for your pleasure, the main goal. Write for your happiness and try to bring some happiness to people who will discover your post. And forget, if it is possible, the link between writing and money.

[Patsy Trench]

Absolutely. And I would add to your list - write for discovery, of the past (in my non fiction case) and for what your imagination can surprise you with.

[Andrew Li]

Thanks! Needed that.

[Remy Bazerque]

Thanks Andrew!

[Imola]

[Remy Bazerque]

Thanks Imola.

[Dr. Randy M. Kaplan]

Wonderful. Exactly. Terrific. Randy.

[Corli's WRITE]

Yes and yes and write to hold on to your humanity.

[Lani V. Cox]

A beautiful reminder, xo

[Remy Bazerque]

Thanks Lani.

[Dr Karen Shue]

Yes please.

I'm newer to Substack and already tired of being marketed to and encouraged to make my substack newsletter More.

It's for me to have a chance to share. Just that.
