Hierarchic of passions

What is the LDS writer passionate about? The ones I've met (in cyberspace) are passionate about writing. And that is a good thing. Their passion is reflected in some very well told stories. In addition, LDS writers are passionate about helping other writers. And that is also a good thing. Also, LDS writers are passionate about praising the books their fellow authors have written and filling them up with encouragement. But, it is my belief that if you ask an LDS writer what he/she is most passionate about their answer will probably be being LDS. They would probably say that giving a blessing (Melchizedek Priesthood holders) is something they'd always stop writing for. They would always say being a mother comes before being a writer. I believe most LDS writers would say their passion for the Lord come first, followed by passion for their family (and all that that entails) and then passion for writing a wonderful story of clean engaging fiction or non-fiction that would hold the interest of anyone. And that is a very good thing.
