5 Reasons Your Publish Your Writing

Published: Sat, 03/13/21

Hello, WriteByNighter,

While writing a guest post this week I realized that I blog far more about the writing process than I do about publishing. That's because I'm fascinated by the process but have mixed feelings about the product.

So this week I decided to shake that up and cover five of the main reasons writers publish their writing and explore my own relationship to those reasons, which include:

-- I want to hold tangible evidence of all the hard work I've done.

-- I want to make money, quit my day job, be a full-time writer.

-- I want to meet my personal challenge.

I want to know about you, too. What are your main reasons for publishing your writing? Internal validation; external validation? Money, fame, power? To help people?

Let me hear about all of that and more in this week's post, "5 Reasons for Publishing Your Writing."

And if you have some time to spare, I'd love it if you'd head over to Writers Helping Writers and share your thoughts on my guest post, "Process vs. Product: Do You Focus on the Doing or the Having?"

Let's show 'em what happens when WriteByNighters come to the party!

Sincerely,
