If you were to believe what the authors themselves say, nobody has ever written a novel because they wanted to make money, and nobody has ever been inspired into writing by Stephen King or Barbara Cartland.
"Yet there is something to be said in extenuation of weather and scenery, which, together with adjectives, do much to lighten the burdens of authors and run up their word count." Edgar Rice Burroughs, in foreword to 'Skeleton Men of Jupiter'
