Even though I haven't written any 40k stuff, I write because I love writing. Additionally, I really want people to like what I write, and, eventually, when I grow up (erk), I'd like to actually get paid for doing it. Big ask, I know. I'm not averse to praise, but a wise person once said "the crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise he receives." I'd hate to become so insecure that I write simply so that people will applaud and tell me how good I am. I'd rather they throw cash at me, and tell me they hate it! I'm hoping to get a few hours together over Christmas to maybe scribble some 40K stuff, so this won't be a completely pointless post!
