But we could never find ourselves if we constantly try to please an audience, can we? It is a fine balance between connecting and expressing your true self. True literature wasn't written based on target audience studies. But I do understand your point. Thanks again.Fani Nichevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042243366031064638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-66970374322872185642012-04-22T17:12:36.761-04:002012-04-22T17:12:36.761-04:00Shirley,

People are more likely to buy or read about something they want, rather than what they need.<br /><br />Funny analogy!<br /><br /><a href="http://karencioffiwritingandmarketing.com" rel="nofollow">Karen Cioffi Writing and Marketing</a>Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-26295670367028622662012-04-21T13:20:44.496-04:002012-04-21T13:20:44.496-04:00Shirley, this is great information.

At times it overwhelmed me because I was trying to follow everyone's advice and then I would get off track and stop writing.<br /><br />At the end of the day, I have to be me.
