Write What You Care About
"Write what you care about and understand. Writers should never try to outguess the marketplace in search of a salable idea; the simple truth is that all good books will eventually find a publisher if the writer tries hard enough, and a central secret to writing a good book is to write one that people like you will enjoy."
RICHARD NORTH PATTERSON
I think this a great piece of advice. So many times I am worried to gain approval from everyone else that I put my own interests aside. It's important to write and invest something you care about, the rest will follow.
