Goodreads asked Dana J Goulston:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Dana J Goulston Q. Why do writers write?
A. Because they have to!

If you missed the point, reread the above ... then write! write! write! And write some more! Yes, it's a bonus to monetize your ideas, but it's much more important to share them. Isn't that why we were put here?
