Write the story you need to tell and want to read. It's impossible to know what others want, so don't waste time trying to guess.

I'm glad I wrote them when I did because I think if I were to write my first novel now, it would be a different book, and it may not be the book that everybody wants to read. But if I were given a red pen now, and I went back... I'd take that thing apart.

Read the kinds of things you want to write; read the kinds of things you would never write. Learn something from every writer you read.
