I think that's the only valid reason to write something. You might get lucky, but if you try to write in order to make money you would just end up writing for the lowest common denominator, or whatever fad happens to be selling right now. Even then you would need to write pretty quickly otherwise the fad would be over by the time your re-tread was finished.
