I'm Getting Older, Too......

"I really don't care if anybody buys it, and I really don't care if everybody steals it. What I need is to make a record for me, the artist." 
Stevie Nicks, about her new album (from The Boston Globe, 5-7-11)


I guess I have something in common with Stevie Nicks besides the big, blond hair.  
I don't write for the book sales.
I don't write for the publishers or the agents or the editors.
I don't write for the reviews.
I don't write for the awards.
I don't write for the bestseller lists.
I don't write for the money.

I write for me.
