Dear though the reader might be, I'd be silly to cater to what the reader wanted.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I suppose people might consider me a 'loose' reader, as I seem willing to read anything of quality thinking and prose.
Ultimately, in my mind, that's what I'm trying to do with my fiction; I'm trying to transport my reader into a different world.
You're a reader as well as a writer, so write what you'd want to read.
I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.
But I care about the reader, and I'm trying to keep the reader's attention for as long as I can.
I'm not that big of a reader, to be honest.
I have to be careful. My readers are very detail-oriented, and if I make a mistake they'll call me on it.
A reader should encounter themselves in a novel, I think.
Some readers allow their prejudices to blind them. A good reader knows how to disregard inappropriate responses.
Don't write for who your reader is. Write for what your reader wants to be.
