This is a journal. It Needs to be 3 paragraphs. Assignment: Virginia Woolf writes, "All I could do was to offer you an opinion upon one minor point — a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction; and that, as you will see, leaves the great problem of the true nature of woman and the true nature of fiction unsolved."

Money, space and uninterrupted time are the three essential needs that make an artist to write and produce exemplary work.

Therefore, a good artist must have a reading space and appropriate environment where he/she can spend humble time to write and match the piece without any external disturbances.
