Every Write-Up takes its value from the people's response, which is elicited only when the writer is able to inspire them!

<ul><li>Writing for ourselves: this benefits us, we become more expressive and get to know ourselves better.</li></ul>or<ul><li>Writing for niches/target audience: we often fail in this, for it provides lower chances of success.</li></ul>

Rules of Writing

While writing, an author never has to or can please every reader.it is difficult to get into the readers' minds since they already have a mindset that looks for topics of interest.Knowing that we are not writing for everyone is a relief.

We dont have to inspire everyone

<ul><li>Understanding the readers</li><li>Communicating with readers</li><li>Reading the comments</li></ul>are all important elements in improving one's skills in writing. Feel free and open minded in communicating with the readers. That way, youll understand if you've sold your idea or not. You'll also, understand your limitations.

Readers interest matters

<ol><li>Understanding that your stories arent for everyone, brings the best in you! There is no preoccupation or nervousness in impressing others.</li><li>This practice helps you retain your status as an unblemished writer.</li><li>It promotes growth.</li></ol>
