But who'll read it?

Heard a funny story the other day:

Stephen King was in a grocery store one day and an older lady was in front of him in line. She kept looking back at him and finally spoke.

"I know who you are," she said. "You're that man who writes those terrible, disgusting stories. I don't like that kind of writing."

King said he just nodded, acknowledging the woman but not saying a word.

She continued, "I like decent stories real authors write like Shawshank Redemption."

King smiled at the woman and said, "I wrote that."

She quickly responded, "No you didn't!"

So you see, not every reader will like every single thing you write. But it doesn't mean you need to change. Just keep writing and your audience will find you.
