#WritersCoffeeClub 24-11-28 Do you try to give readers what they want or strive for originality?
What readers [say they] want is another book just like the last one they really liked.
What they need is not that: what they need is something different that nevertheless makes them feel the same way.
So I aim to give my readers what they need, not what they expect.
