As a writer, which is more important, making money or recognition of creativity?

I'd prefer recognition or creativity to money. When I write, my aim isn't to make a huge amount of money. When I do write, it's because I have something to say or I want people to understand things about the way I think or feel.If there is money in the process, that would be great.

Writing is fun for the writer. Whether I get money or not out of what I write, I will still write ;O) But getting money from it can be ten times the fun of being a writer ;O)

well i think that earning money should not be your main solo aim, but do not also earn less money, make sure u have the enough money to have a comfortable living, but at the same time don't forget to use the art of creativity which have been patented only for writers , since the Socrates age

I would simply like to make a living doing it. Just being able to live that way with all the time to research and spend preparing my stories would be such a joy. Its a great life if you make it !

A writer will write whether the money is coming in or not. He/She feels happy just by writing. But if you are really an inspired writer, fame and name is not far away. Also, there have been extremely gifted writers who wrote for money to make their living. Let's not forget that the richest celebrity in the world today (J K Rowling) wrote her first best seller to make ends meet. Another amazing fact is that when Margret Mitchell wrote "Gone With The Wind", it is reported that she kept the book away, thinking no one would be interested in reading her story. It is believed that a relative found the book and gave it for publishing... and the rest is history! These wonderful examples tell you that whether you write for money or not, creativity is a must. Talent sincerity, perseverence and a fine sense of ethics will do the rest to hone you into a good writer.

Hello! I am not a writer. I am a copyeditor. So far, based on experience, I think the purpose of their writings is solely for recognition.
