"Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money." Virginia Woolf's analogy is a playful but honest reminder of the different motivations that drive writers.
Writing can be a deeply personal and passionate experience. Initially, we may write purely for pleasure, the way words feel and sound.
As we gain confidence and share our work with others, we may write to connect with friends, family, or find connection with a new audience. And as we become more established, we may seek financial returns for our writing.
Woolf's classic novel, 'Mrs. Dalloway,' is a testament to the power of writing from the heart. She explores the inner thoughts and feelings of her post-war characters in exquisite detail.
So, whether you're writing for love, friendship, or money, remember to stay true to yourself and your desires.
