I'm just bored with that particular idea of success for myself. I believe that every person who puts down an honest word in the pursuit of story or poetry or literature has already succeeded. And to gain an honest response is worth more than all the money that can be printed (that kind of response happened several times for me last year).

I think writing is merely a means of communication whose primary purpose is to transmit ideas. I think most people write for the purpose of communicating with others. Success in this context means the idea(s) being conveyed are received by the intended audience. There may or may not be money involved. I certainly don't believe money is the primary reason why people write.
