I'm not sure what your question is. I don't think I'd say that to any writer, no. If they were horrible and holding chapters hostage for reviews, then I'd point out that this is a stupid, douchey thing to do, but it's still 100% their choice to keep writing. Nobody has to write anyone anything out of sheer love of writing. That to me seems as entitled as demanding reviews.

I just meant that different writers write for different reasons.

I wasn't trying to imply that someone *had* to write out of love for writing, I was just kind of confused as to why it seems some people put so much effort into writing when they're constantly disappointed by lack of feedback and not getting satisfaction any other way.

Oh, yeah. I get that writers have different motivations for why they write, I just wouldn't try to dictate to them what their motivations ought to be, if that makes sense. Unfortunately, I see that happening a lot in discussions like this. (I hasten to clarify: Not from you.)

"... I was just kind of confused as to why it seems some people put so much effort into writing when they're constantly disappointed by lack of feedback and not getting satisfaction any other way."

Living in hope, is my guess. I don't know of any writers who are an instant success from their very first attempt. If nobody kept trying in hopes of improving and maybe finding an audience who appreciated their work, we'd have no books at all. You could say that of just about any endeavor, really.

I'm glad you think I'm not doing that, but I apologize if I came off that way at all. Wasn't intending to be rude. ^^;

And your second point is a good point, yeah.
