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
