Well, I can't speak for others, but I write when I have a strong desire to share a thought or a hard-learned lesson. I know some people dream of writing the GAN (Great American Novel) and I applaud them. I'm on the mailing lists of some women who have become very successful novelists.
But it's hard work, dealing with publicity, contracts and the pressure to keep producing. I don't see myself chasng that particular rainbow, though you never know. P.D.James is still going strong (90 now??) and she started writing in her 40's.
All I know for sure is that I'll keep writing articles and maybe a short story here and there and let the chips fall where they may.
