That doesn't make any sense. There are plenty of people who write for reasons other than money, and turning writing into a lucrative career is much harder (and harder to control) than a lot of people think.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't entirely agree with it. And I kind of doubt whether the original person who said it (Samuel Johnson) entirely agreed with it. But it amuses me, and I think it is true that there's nothing wrong with getting money for your writing and that it's foolish to look down upon it.

[citrinesunset]

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting money, either (or for writing primarily for money). Most people who act like writing is the perfect money-maker seem pretty naive, though. If the author in the OP wasn't able to churn out books every two weeks, her business model probably wouldn't work.

Then again, if the author took longer on her books, they might be better quality, and I do tend to think less of people who are willing to do a shitty job in the interest of a short-term reward.
