Writing For Self Or For Client?

What does a true writer aspire? A writer really needs some peace of mind like most people do. What brings him the real tranquillity of thoughts? There are different types of writers. Some of them write articles, some write stories, some write scripts while a few write purely for themselves. The real peace comes when you do something that you love doing the most. My fundamental question is what brings more pleasure to the writer? Writing for own self or writing for others? It really depends on what is your gauging factor. If it is money then probably you could sell your article to a high profile client and gain a lot of moolah. If it is for your own personal satisfaction then you must ideally write for yourself. Writing for a client is not easy. You need to understand what he really needs. The topic might not be of your interest at all. You would need to do a lot of research before you write anything on the topic. You might have a very open style of writing. If the client wants to put your article on his highly business oriented website then you might need to tweak your style to suit to the client needs. The problem writing for another client is that your style changes as per the needs of your client. Also, certain clients need you to write for SEO or use specific keywords or country-specific language. This makes the task a tad difficult. You also don’t get any flexibility to write for your own as your focus is mainly on client requests. The number of articles that you can produce on a daily basis is far less compared to what you could do if you write for your own. Other than money, the only advantage that you gain is you come to know different things and if later you decide to write something for yourself you could use your huge pool of diverse experience. Writing for self is far easier. You know the topics that appeal you and can concentrate on them. You can write the way you prefer. There is no restriction on style and choice of vocabulary. You will be able to create high number of articles that reflect your true style. If you decide to write on something then you can do some research taking your own sweet time. The only issue would be the amount of money that you would make writing for yourself.
