What I enjoy/don't enjoy doesn't dictate my life. I didn't like or eat vegetables for most of my life, but I realized that was a shortsighted and irrational decision so I made myself change. I see this very similarly.

Sorry for the late reply, I hope that answered your question. Thanks for the great comment!

Thanks Ryland! This explains why the non-enjoyment doesn't deter you from blogging. But I am still curious what drives you to write and to promote yourself as a writer.

It's a skill I have, and others don't, and that's a strong differentiator in a capitalist economy. I definitely see myself writing for the rest of my life, just not as a full time thing.
