I think it's a very bad idea for someone to start writing for a readership.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
I feel that if you made your writing too contrived to meet the market, it wouldn't be any good.
Being a writer can be isolating. It's good to be among readers and booksellers.
In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it's so hard to be read.
I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.
I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.
I can't write; I don't think I'm even particularly good at telling a writer what's good or what's missing. So, actually having someone who can do that is a godsend.
If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
But I think everybody should write. I think those people with stories who don't write should be stomped on.
Providing a writer isn't put off by conventions - and some are - attending them can be a nice break from the necessary isolation of writing.
