What type of writer are you?

I have to ask, what type of writer are you?

We have a variety of writers here, some write all day long for a living and others write for enjoyment? Which one are you?

I enjoy writing for both reasons, however I would never try to tell a person that they cannot write about their daily events or what they cooked for dinner, that is not what freedom of expression is about. If a person does not like what your writing then they can go to the next post.

I do not think any REAL professional writers would be on any site making a penny per view, let's be real here folks.

On the same note you learn how to write more and more with each post that you make, follow your heart and let the pen flow you will be amazed at what will land on the paper.

I enjoy reading all of the articles on this website and the other websites I am on for writing, however the second I am told I must only write a serious post then I will leave the site, since I am not paid the worth of a professional article. a penny on any site or 3.00 for a post on any site does not make you a professional writer, you can tell yourself you are and I will respect that, however keeping it real your really not.

I have books published and I am not rich in any means. so the life of a writer is not fancy...

Please keep writing with your heart and enjoy what you post, the second you stop enjoying what you are doing there is no longer  any need to keep doing it.

Never let anyone try to kill your dreams, write and write and you will see what you blossom into.

Censorship has no place in writing forums, freedom of speech and expression needs to be respected. Not everyone is a writer, but that does not mean they cannot post what is on their mind.

Get Off Your Knees You're A Writer For God's Sake!

I'm supposed to be working on my duties to multiple online projects here but a fellow writer, Drew De Jesus has gotten me stirred up. I'm not sure what we will become here but it won't be a place where you see writers groveling at the feet of others. That should never happen. It's an abomination. 

If I don't agree with your stance or I dislike your post and I'm compelled to do something about it, I would express my feelings in your comments knowing full well you are getting paid for my comment. LOL! I would not presume to ban-hammer any writer for expressing themselves or trying to earn through other sources other than my site. That is wrong. I can go for a walk, take a cold shower, brood over a shot glass of bourbon while thinking about your post. But I won't silence you. That is no one's right but your own.
