Why Writing is Important
Writing is something that each person can do, not that everyone will consider themselves a writer, but it does mean that they can write. Writing is important for the past and the future. It is something that writers want to showcase. It is important not only for making money, but for the joy that you will get when writing something that you, as a writer finds important to you.
It goes beyond being important and shows that you have a passion for something you love, and that you can potentially make you living wriitng, which means that you will at some point make money on what you do. Making money can in fact make you more passionate, but you will have to prove that your writing, Your Writing is important to you.

Writing is Important: Do You Think So?
This is one of the challenges that many writers face on a regular basis they write on the blogs they have and other sites. They believe in their writing and they also believe in the fact that writing is important to them and to others who they are writing to and for. Sometimes the people close to them do not believe that writing is important.To them writing is a hobby something that they enjoy doing on a regular basis but not as a full time occupation. ( In this case blogging) This is not to suggest that they will not say that the writer should find a real job. Often what they are suggesting is that the writer find a job where the pay is steady and regular. This is often disheartening to any writer.
Writing is important, and to them it is a part of the reason why they continue to write on their blogs, online writing other articles or simply writing the book that they have always longed to write. Writing is fun and challenging but they would not have it any other way.
For some writing for a living is as enjoyable as they would have imagined it to be. To other writing is so important that they will accept some of the harder fall outs, the loss of friendships which they valued, or the loss of a more stable job.
Still, often writers who love what they do, find even simply writing in a journal is enough to prove to them that writing is important in their lives and they do not have to write for a living or write often to know how important it is to them. They need to be passionate about what they write so that in the end they publish their work.
That writing is important goes beyond simply the art of writing, it allows the writer to dream and to feel passionate about, they can learn that they create something that is of value to them. Often writers forget that they are as important to the art of writing as the readers are. There is a bond which is created between the writer and the reader.
The writer creates the book which the reader wants to read and enjoy and the writer finds the why they need to create and write another book. It does not need to be a bestseller, it simply needs to be something that is important to them and to others. That is the beauty of writing and the beauty of writing what is important to others.
That is one of the many reasons why writing is important. It still does not tell you if you believe it.
Passionate Writing and the Money Issue
Passionate writing is valued and important and every writer will see their writing as both valuable and important. There is however one issue that changes the prespective of why passionate writing is important to all writers. That issue?MONEY. rather, making money online and making money faster with your writing.
Let us be honest: everyone needs to make money and so do writers who want to write for a living. We all need some sort of money to live. Now, you could write on squidoo and make some money, and you could write on hubpages and make money there, but the point of the matter is that everyone needs to feel that they have something to give, and that they get something back.
Yes, for many that something is money. It is also a personal goal that each writer has to face. How much is enough before your passion is pushed to the side to get the thing called : money... and when you get to that stage there will never be enough money.
Writers and Writing and Passion...
How Blogging will Prove that Writing is Important to you
Writing is Important when Blogging
It is simple to create a blog. Often times you can write a blog as fast as you have created it. The thing whcih might not come fast is the money.Go online to Google or Yahoo and type the word "blog" in the search engine and behold, a list of blogs will appear. Many of these blogs are free, meaning you can create a blog for zero down. This is a great incentive to begin. Pick a site, for my own preference it is blogger. It doesn't matter which you pick, but look at a few of the blogs each contains.
Most of the basic blog sites you pick will have templates for the framework for the new blog. Take a few minutes to look at each one, and decide which meets your needs. The most important need isn't the sidebar however fun that might be but how the content is set up. For most people the center of the template is where your blog posts should be. It doesn't need to be fancy just in the center.
Readers of blogs have been trained to look towards the middle for the content, or posts, that blog has on it. On most of these posts there is a date and who wrote it and a comment button. Use them wisely; I prefer to view the date and the person who wrote the blog below the title of the post, or below the post itself. It gives a quick impression of when it was written and who wrote it and why this post was written.
Next look to your sidebar. For beginning blogs the most important piece of information on the sidebar is an archive list. This way a blog reader can quickly find an older post. Create a link of your favourite blogs you've read and intend to return to there. It helps others who read your blog a chance to see that you read other people's blogs as well.
Don't get fancy yet, the basics are the most important: If you can get one, add a "followers" list, so that people can track your blog and your posts. At this point, I haven't mentioned the fine art of monetizing your blog. Don't do that yet. Write a few posts and get them up on the blog.
Yes, I know funny advice but something I've learned is that should you try to make money without content you gain a negative reputation, that of a money grabber.
People want content, they want something. You need to give your readers a reason to return to your blog, and this is what our posts are doing for you. Then put the monetizing ads up. The money will come, many people do click on these ads, most don't, but many do. Content is the most vital part of your blog at the moment.

Ask yourself this: After posting a number of entries what succeeds on this blog-- is it really making me money? What did I delight in the most and why did I delight in it? The first few months is the time when most bloggers stop posting. Why does this phenomenon occur? What has changed?I think they envisioned something bigger and didn't understand how slow in coming this can be. Or, as with a business they are a part of the 90% or so who fail in the first year. MSot of that vision is bags of money. Money fast, or better yet faster. In other words, they listened to everyone else, and found that the real online world didn't care for what they had to say. Writers want to be needed, but they also want money.
Assume that the first month as an auditioning month, this is not to suggest that money will come fast, it will come. Write a post on the blog each day. Or write two each day. Prove that what you think you can do, you do. Write every day, by which point people will either: believe you've lost your mind, or people will respect that you have a superior work ethic.
That your are passionate about writing great content. For the first month once you've decided what the blog you've created is about write about that one subject. You know your information? Prove it. Are you passionate about sharing this information? this is one way to make money online with your blog, and still be passionate about the writing you do.
Prove that as well.
Love to Hear you Write

- Being a professional writer for more than two decades i can only say writing is non stop learning process. I am afraid in modern world learning (and writing) is not so much in demand as it should be. I hope there will be more writers in the future because we need so much to do to improve our environment and society and good critical writers can only help!

- I'm glad I found this, thanks to you visiting one of my lenses. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am one of those people who gave up on my blog for two reasons. Firstly, very few people visited and I never made any thing. Secondly, and most importantly, things which I used to be able to do (HTML) and linking to some of my Squidoo stuff, I could no longer do and this annoyed me, one week it works and the next it doesn't. Once again, thanks for the tips.
