Do you write for yourself or the /a market?; write for popularity ie for money or for prescence?; write what you feel or study the market, genre, word length, and the anomalous one - read what's been published and is in the marketplace. Then write something fresh and new that hits the mark.<br />The frank honesty of ALL the presenters was refreshing -it's a crowded marketplace so we all have to zing to be noticed, and that weekend hit my zinger button.<br />Cheers- Judy O'ConnorUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412889391929548992noreply@blogger.com
