"I really don't care if anybody buys it, and I really don't care if everybody steals it. What I need is to make a record for me, the artist."
Stevie Nicks, about her new album (from The Boston Globe, 5-7-11)
I guess I have something in common with Stevie Nicks besides the big, blond hair.
I don't write for the book sales.
I don't write for the publishers or the agents or the editors.
I don't write for the reviews.
I don't write for the awards.
I don't write for the bestseller lists.
I don't write for the money.
I write for me.

She is an inspiration. I love her music.
OH, Stevie. A fine hair inspiration as well as an artistic one.
Me, too, Amber! I especially love this song. It always makes me cry.
Hi Carolyn! Big hair always inspires me. Stevie. Jon Bon Jovi (from the 1980's), etc etc. I like her "screw all yinz, I'm doing this for me!" attitude. She is such a kick!
Word. Totally word.
Amen! I LOVE Miss Nicks.
Hi Kate! Hi Juju! Yep....Stevie is the Master Of The Universe!
I write for you too, sweetie. I love Stevie Nicks.
I write because I gotta write. That's it. No other reason.
Julia.....you are so sweet! Thanks for writing for me...hee hee! Here's my "unpopular" reason I write...because it's fun. Otherwise, I wouldn't freakin' do it. I have never actually heard ANY other writers admit this.
No shit! It IS fun!
