Writing When – No One Reads What You Wrote

I know you struggle with this. Know how I know? Because everyone struggles with this. I posed this question to Twitter recently asking people if they would still write if no one read what they wrote. The results surprised me. Not because just about everyone said they would continue writing. It's what so many added to their response. By and large they said, no one reads what I currently write so of course I would continue writing if no one reads it. Here's a simple truth. Writers don't write to be read. They write for a much more powerful and instinctual reason.
