Tip # 7: Never write a second book

Write a book or story that you would love to read yourself. Better yet: Write something you cannot find ... but you hunger for. This is the purest motivation, from my perspective, for a writer to write. Don't chase a market, or try to please an audience, or take any advice from anyone regarding what to write. Write something you cannot find on the shelf but would be delighted to read ... and then sit back and count the offers that flood in!! I'm serious. The bottom line is, if you can keep yourself engaged, the readers will follow!
