If a story I write rescues a reader from a moment of boredom, a moment of stress, a moment of pain, I consider myself a valid member of society doing my part to make the world a better place. Sounds dramatic, but I believe it's true. I feel like, without purpose, a person loses their spirit and it shows on the page. <br /><br />Writing just to write or to make a few bucks doesn't give purpose. <br /><br />Writing to entertain, to comfort, to soothe, well, that requires passion--and it, too, shows on the page.<br /><br />Great topic. I enjoyed reading about one of the reasons you like to write. I'm sure there are many more.<br /><br />All my best,<br />AllureAllureVanSanzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343377905154824059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594673639733992657.post-70419502316895437382011-03-20T20:49:37.180-07:002011-03-20T20:49:37.180-07:00Thank you all very much!

This blog writeup is accurate and to the point and all aspiring authors should keep these goals in mind and at a top focus for their work.R.
