Can it ever truly be someone's motivation for writing?
I'd find it hard to maintain enthusiasm over the course of 80,000 words, if all I was thinking about was how many Aston Martin's I could buy at the end of it.
The joy of writing's about making up a story and running with it (followed by the hours upon hours of necessary editing, of course)
