Would You Still Write If You Had A Million Dollars?

Home Biz Notes has a poll called What Difference Would A Million Dollars Make To Your Home Business?
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’d stop writing if you handed me a million bucks. But that kind of money would create a spaciousness to work on more of my own projects, products, books etc. and focus less on working for clients.
What about you? What would you do about your writing if you suddenly had a million dollars?
Write well and often,
Two newsletters:
Abundant Freelance Writing – a resource for freelance writers including 3x a week job postings.
Writing With Vision – for those who want to get a book written.
I’d keep writing, but would work more on my own projects.
I would write much more if I had the financial freedom to.
Like you, I’d still write, but I’d focus on creative writing rather than freelancing.
Exactly. I’d write MORE, but my own stuff.
like minds?
I’d also buy a home!
I’d still write…that’s almost as important as breathing to me. However, I’d have the freedom to write what I want, get more involved with self-publishing, have the budget to actively and creatively promote my books and speaking. Have FUN with my writing. Not that I don’t have fun now, but some of the deadline pressures and the necessity to write for income would be removed. Also, I’d travel more and incorporate my writing into that.
P.S. Thanks, Anne, for mentioning Home Biz Notes and for translating Yvonne’s poll into a question for writers.

I’d have all new equipment, I’d be writing on a bigger monitor, that’s for sure… and I’d be writing from anywhere at any time too! Plus, I’d lose any kind of “clock” and I would certainly devote myself to it 100% by quitting my day job!
Yeah I will keep writing and this time my blog will be upgraded and talk about how I manage my million dollar and make more millions in future
love it… I’d probably switch to mac… and yes, we’d need to learn how to really manage the million wouldn’t we.
I’m delighted to find we’d all keep writing!
I would continue to blog with passion but with less bother about adsense, adword, text link …etc
I’d keep writing.I’d also buy a new computer
Yes, but, like others here, I’d switch to more interesting, but less potentially lucrative, personal projects.
Seems like we’re all more or less in agreement
If you had a million dollars?
Or if you got a million dollars dumped on the table?
Because they’re different concepts.
I already have well over a million dollars. But I still write.
A million dollars is not a good thing. We’re all fine if the bills get paid. A million dollars shouldn’t change anything.

Yes, I’d still write, although I probably would write fiction (the novel that’s rolling around in my head) than non-fiction.
Jean, I keep saying I want to write a mystery novel, but I notice I never take any action on it… strongly suspect having plenty of money wouldn’t really change that… it might, but…
