Kellie now:
I agree that it would be unfortunate if the losses are only one-sided 
and I would be quite disappointed in that.  But, as for her writing 
for herself, that doesn't unsettle me.  I would be more bothered if 
she catored to her readers' whims and wishes.

If she stopped writing for herself I think that her books would be 
lacking. She wouldn't be writing with her heart in it, and I believe 
she does that. Her characters come to life for her and in order to 
keep that, she has to write for her, and not others.  This is just 
my opinion.

Also, if she were to start writing for everyone else, she would go 
crazy, because no matter what she did or wrote in her book, someone 
would be unsatisfied with it.  She isn't going to be able to please 
everyone, so she has to write what she believes.  Whoever dies, 
someone is going to be upset by it, and there is no getting around 
that.  An author can't change the story lines because of how their 
readers may react to it, it is part of the plot.

Just my thoughts.
Kellie
