For all The Fiction Writers Out There – inspirational
For those who hope and dream – that they can be acknowledged for their creativity, that they can offer a little something more than being a lifeless automaton, punching buttons for a big corporation or picking up garbage from the curb on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Something more than spending their weekends in a neighborhood bar, guzzling beer and downing Jack Daniels shots with the rest of the zombies who have already lost their dreams. For this dream, they hope and strive for something better.
We are writers, come read our horrors!

Well-said, Mike!
Thanks Bob, by asking myself why I write fiction, I hoped to capture the motivations of fiction writers and their own feelings toward their work.
