The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writing is not the easiest way to make a living. Your work long hours, usually all by yourself. It is not a way to make money.
The writer can choose what he writes about but he cannot choose what he is able to make live.
You have to live in order to have something to write about - you get caught up in moviemaking and celebrities and money, and it's very intoxicating, but it doesn't give you what you need as a writer. You have to do something else for that.
For almost anyone who chooses to be a writer, since so very few writers are able to learn a living from their work that is equivalent to the living earned by the average dentist or accountant.
A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.
If your purpose is to make money, you shouldn't get into writing.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
A man who writes for a living does not have to go anywhere in particular, and he could rarely afford to if he wanted.
A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom.
If I can make a living as a writer, I can do anything.
