I do a mix of both. I love what I write - but I also want to keep my readers interested too. When you're a writer - it's a delicate balance of the two.
Bloggers are a little different (in my mind). They can write for themselves only - and if it connects, so be it. If it doesn't, so be it.
But for a writer (well, I should qualify that... for the type of writer that I AM lol), it needs to be a give and take. A dialogue. A place where the two meet and connect and breathe in each other's essence. mmmm i love getting to give something special to the reader. It's what I LONG for.
It's the difference between a cook and a chef.
A cook prepares food for a living and hopes that their job will pay the bills.
A chef (and I don't mean a trained professional -i mean someone who was BORN to be a chef) is someone who LIVES to please someone through their tastebuds, comfort them through food, and love them through the experience.
That's what I want to do with words - always :)
Yeah I get writing for people but I don't want to write to make people upvote my stuff, I want to write enjoyable things for them, do you understand?
I love your explanations, they always make me happy.
yep i understand exactly. you have it right
