#WritersCoffeeClub 8Jan—Do you agree with Samuel Johnson, who said, “No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money?”
Maybe that was true in the 1700s, but today’s a different era.
No one writes for the money. We write—indeed, we create all art—because it’s what heals us. It’s how we express ourselves in a world where individuality is shunned. It’s how we rebel against oppression and hate.
Humans need art. Humans need stories. It’s never been about the money, and it never should be.
