"Keri Hilson has said that she likes writing songs for other artists.  The singer, who has written tracks for Britney Spears and Omarion, told Complex that she relies on the income she receives from songwriting.  &amp;quot;No, it&amp;#039;s money in the bank. That&amp;#039;s my means of living. There&amp;#039;s two sides of me, and neither takes preference,&amp;quot; she explained.  &amp;quot;One is just a dream that I fought long and hard for. Songwriting was my Plan B. My whole life, I&amp;#039;ve fought to just do this. I didn&amp;#039;t know that I&amp;#039;d be able to take off as far, or as fast, as I did, but I knew I had a talent and that I should pursue it, because there&amp;#039;s money in it.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t have one without the other. Even at my biggest, I want to be writing for other artists.  &amp;quot;Even at my peak, the highest I can be as an artist, I always want to be keeping my creative juices flowing, keeping money in the bank, putting my intellectual property out there.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
