Do it for love

Our friend Ken Blum has hit on the secret of success.
He’s writing a novel about a hometown paper in the ‘60s.
It’s a story Ken lived with a community newspaper group.
He’s also doing a book on photojournalism’s mental side.
He’s using award-winning photos he shot himself.
All will be printed in sepia for a unique touch.
“It’s a book that I’m doing for myself,” Ken writes.
That’s the secret of doing it — and finishing it.
Write them for yourself and people like yourself,
I know some con artists do it just for the bucks.
But they miss the fun of writing the books.
It’s just work to them. That’s no way to live.
Most of the writers I know do it for themselves first.
Then they share with people like themselves:
1. The great stories they’ve heard.
2. The intriguing things that happen to them.
3. The lessons both have taught them.
If you don’t do it for the love of it, it’s work.
Our friend Joe Pinner says he’s never worked a day in his life.
Of course, Joe loves what he does for a living.
I hope you’re doing what you love, too.
