>Motivation to write? Self-expression and posterity.
>Readers in mind? Not much. I just craft my writing as I see best. If you keep readers in mind too much you run the risk of losing your individuality.

Joy
>also, do you have your readers in mind as you write, even if the reader is just yourself, or you just let your mind come through your pen/keyboard?
Sometimes. It can be distracting though. Unless you're a hack trying to make a buck, you should avoid thinking about them.

>what is your major motivation to write?
The fact that its one of the only things I feel like doing, and one of the only things that give me a happy escape from my little life.

>do you have your readers in mind as you write, even if the reader is just yourself, or you just let your mind come through your pen/keyboard?
I wrote the (first draft of) a book that I would want to read, as if had someone given it to me knowing I'd enjoy it. So yeah, I write for myself. I'd argue that for certain people, writing for someone else is a good way to limit yourself and malign your creativity, depending on the inteneded auidence. So the best I can hope for is write in the voice/tone that I wanted, and that people will be attracted to it.

money, pussy, power.

I have no motivation to write. I write because I have exhausted all other career options. If this doesn't pan out then I will kill myself.
