Writing, basically breaks down to relationships between people and that is what you write about.
From Leon Uris
I do not write for an audience.
I essentially write for myself.
I have been writing for 50 years and readers still read my first book from when I was in the Marine Corps.
You can try to reach an audience, but you just write what comes out of you and you just hope that it is accepted. You do not write specifically to a generation.
I have drawn inspiration from the Marine Corps, the Jewish struggle in Palestine and Israel, and the Irish.
My first book was rejected nine times. It turned out to be a best seller, Battle Cry? in 1953.
