I reckon you don’t write to please other people. That’s what your integrity is. There are bell bottoms and miniskirts, and there are pencil skirts and stiletto heels. You can write something that’s a perfect work of art, but if it’s a pencil skirt that falls in a miniskirt moment, God help you. You just have to make your pencil skirt and be you.
