It's rather both. I'm not into writing for the money, but I'm working on 
getting published right now. It's like being in a band, and playing club
shows, even if you lose money in the process. Sure, you'd like to be picked
up for a record deal, but isn't playing in front of an audience fun?

It's the same thing with writing on the net.
