Even Stephen King admits that money is a motive for writing, though he doesn't claim it as the only reason. I've yet to meet someone who didn't like making some money for their efforts in a job, and don't see why writing would be any different. There is mental work involved in coming up with characters, plot twists and so forth. You are in fact creating something out of nothing as unlike other occupations the work doesn't come with things already created for you to put together or whatever. I mean a janitor cleans a place of business for example, and doesn't have to make the mess before he cleans it, but the author has to create everything from scratch.
