I write because it is a creative outlet for me. Like making music. Or comics. If people like my creativity, I am happy. Sure, I would love to make my living doing creative things, but that is an extremely difficult road to travel. And your creativity can start to feel like work. So I see writing as a hobby that earns a little. But not enough to stress about it or chase it full time. I do it for the audience appreciation. The applause/likes/comments. Without an audience, I probably wouldn’t write.

But I would make music regardless of whether I had an audience. So I guess I am a musician who also writes.
