Passion, hands down. Even when I have to write technical pieces, I don't feel like I am working. I enjoy every bit of it.

A passion in a first place

It all comes down to what you are writing. I've written countless business oriented documents and I can't say I had a passion when writing a company profile. That is when I consider it a job. I have also personally written a30 episode26 min per episode sitcom and that is when I considered it my passion.

Writing must first be a passion. But who says you can't make a lot of money from your passion? Hence, i'll call it both.

For me writing is a passion whether it's paid writing or not.

Even if I have to follow strict timelines, my work comes from my creative passion for my work.

Writing can only be a passion unless it's information or research-based.  Literary, fictional and philosophical writings can never be job, if anybody thinks these can be made to bread-winning jobs, then he/she is on the wrong side, definitely.

Both, I love writing since it helps me vent all that I have bottled up. But it is work. I used to write articles as part of my previous job as a Journalist and Web Content Editor, and it was equally as fulfilling.

Both, for me. Since writing is my passion, it would be great if i adopt it as a job where i will be paid for pursuing my passion.

Writing is a work. I can focus on anything and write about it.

It is a passion for me, I always think that I can't force myself to write if I dont feel like it
