Write, first and foremost, for you.
Your story is your own. It is told firstly for yourself. It is your time you spend on this, your emotion you pour into it. You wrap it up in the finest threads of your soul, this story, and give it to the world.
So write for you, before anyone else.

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s so easy to get wrapped up in what the market wants and forget to write for yourself!
