Writing to suit me. Not others.

I write primarily for myself. Rather than for other people. Oh, I write to other people. Directly. I like to do that. But more often than not, I just sit down and write. Exactly what I want to write. Not with the intention that it has to be read by others. If it is, so be it. And it doesn't matter to me whether they like it or not. I spent most of my life writing for newspapers. For other people. Mainly, to keep them informed and entertained. But I wasn't necessarily always writing what I wanted to write. And the way I wanted to write. After all, I was sort of a hired gun. Now that I'm retired, I do pretty much as I please. Writing to suit me. Not others. --Jim Broede
