The story must interest YOU

When I started out, I did exactly that: tried to do stuff specifically for others, and well I did not do so well. The material I came up with was... underwhelming. Then I started reading other people's stuff. I quickly realized that the material that interested THEM interested me ME.

I asked myself that exact same question, followed by "what am I doing wrong?" In a moment of frustration, I decided to write something I wanted to, ignoring all the data I read about what people want.

To my surprise, my readers thought it was awesome, fresh, and filled with excitement. By doing something you love, it will come through your writing. Write the story for YOU first and foremost...
