(Anonymous) 2013-03-06 07:41 am (UTC)(link)Anthony Burgess claimed that he wrote A Clockwork Orange in a few weeks for money. It's probably his most well-known novel, and explores some interesting ideas about society and youth.
The author of Fifty Shades of Grey started writing her fanfic-turned-novel for her own enjoyment. She claims it was the result of a midlife crisis, and stresses the fact that it is her fantasy and not written for others.
It's pretty interesting to look at the motivations of different authors in the modern world. Most people are literate now, giving the author a wider audience, but they can't make money off of a few wealthy patrons, so they have to write things that will appeal to a lot of people if they want to make a living. Another thought: if this author makes her living solely from writing, and also enjoys it, she probably spends most of her time on it, since she doesn't have another job, and her hobbies are less likely to pull her away.
