Hello,
I use to believe that writers are supposed to write what they want to write. But, I discovered recently that this is false. We're supposed to write what we want to read. I've been working on this project for two years, but i'm unfazed by it. I discovered i didn't care about the project, and wouldn't read the story if it had been released.
I've been reading a lot recently. Trying to get a feel for the market and my preferences. Problem is, I haven't figured out what i'd like to read.
How do you decide what to write based on what you would read? Is there another way to do it? Would anyone care to share stories? How did you discover your story idea?
Thanks,
Victoria
p.s If I email someone something (lets say, i'm sending a friend a expanded idea, or a copy of a manuscript because i want their opinion) to someone, does it count as copyright infringement? Or anything else i should know about?
