Writing is definitely about being open to the actual, and to the self. Great quote. I agree, I don’t think you can write for an audience, that would be so stifling.

It makes me think of the image of someone absorbed with tinkering in the garage playing with all the pieces fitting together so it works, not wondering if the neighbors behind him will think it works.

Potentially many different people with many different likes and dislikes. Who said the quote "Write the book you want to read"? That's where our center should be. I like that quote.
