As one of the Hosts of a talk show, "The Puddle People Hour" on Blog Talk Radio, it became apparent to me after interviewing several authors, that there becomes a necessary criterion predominant in all of them. That criterion is based on the writer's intent to write for pleasure, passion, business or money. For instance, if one writes for pleasure, it often portrays an author of children's books where they can become child-like through their characters and illustrate in the simplest of form, their love for writing through the eyes of a child. On the other hand, if an author writes for business, there is absolutely no criteria that allows the freedom of childhood thinking; in fact, the writing must be of the highest degree of professionalism and preciseness. The author needs only to know the elements of good grammar and practical application. Now a writer that wants to make money, should probably not give up a day job to write, unless he/she is hired on at a specified salary position, such as a magazine or newspaper, etc., Freelance writing COULD be lucrative, but essentially, unless you're on the top ten New York Best Seller List, there is a good chance your writing could be buried among several million other writers work, wishing and hoping to be discovered. However, you can also find the most purposeful and passionate writing from these same authors...why? Most of their writing is on life experiences which includes family, so the attachments are even more important to their characters. Who can't be passionate when they are speaking of family? Yet, the sincerity that comes from their writing, their characters and their chosen genre can be found in almost all their books. If this type of writer had to write a business letter, more than likely, the letter would be straightforward, kind, yet firm in the intent...just as if they were talking to a member of their family. In other words, no matter what genre you write in, no matter what the underlying reason for your writing is, the Pleasure, Passion, Business or even the Motive of money, can combine together based on the authors intent and willingness to make it happen; which is why you will find so many genre crossing authors. Many of the authors interviewed for childrens books were also Romance novelist. Now, would that mean that the author' creative imagination could possess a fantasy characteristic that can be utilized both for children or adult writing? Most likely, this is why they can be successful in both genres. This is the bottom line, I think. You must be writing for pleasure or you would not be writing. Your passion seeps through either because you base your writing on life experiences, family or love in your life, no matter what genre you're working with. Business writing is the "sleeping" creativeness of your brain, which will stand tall and be politically correct in everything you write so it is in the best interest of your company or business. As for Money, well, it's ALL part of the Pleasure, Passion and Business genres isn't it? And yet, it seems also to be the most obsolete of them all!! thesis writing
