Passion....Purpose...Profit...

What's up fam...today's blog topic is pretty straight forward. I was sitting here going over some of my manuscripts and what not trying to figure out what I'm gonna write about and I realized part of my procrastination is in my uncertainty in my future as a writer. I think I'm a half way decent writer but I know and realize that there are those out there who are much more talented and then there are those who have the money to get the super promotion deals and packages. Now to a certain degree none of this real concerns me because I'm not writing for the money. For me it is truly about the art and the pursuit of passion. Yet I often wonder about "artist" who tend to lose their passion in their pursuit of profit. I also beg the question of whether their "art" was really their passion at all. For example I've met poets who won't perform unless they are being paid, now granted I do understand not perform for free ALL the time but I don't see anyone as a true artist of any sort if it's always about the paycheck...but hey that could just be me. Well I think I'm done rambling for now....Love, Peace & Poetry!
