Never, never try to scope the market. You've got to write what you're passionate about. Otherwise you'll produce juiceless, flavorless fiction. -Dean Koontz
Think oranges in the super market. Some of the prettiest, most colorful oranges are juiceless and flavorless. They are picked for the market, rather than for flavor.
