I think he forgot to mention the most important reason for being a writer: Writers create the world around them, word by word, and dream by dream. Nothing exists that wasn't first dreamed by someone or something. Storytelling is as old as mankind, and its purpose is to preserve as well as create our reality.
I'll write as long as I have stories inside me and people who want to live through me, whether I have readers beyond myself or not. The magic is too strong to resist!
