DOTW: Write for yourself or others?

Hi everyone! It's time for the first Discussion of the Week here at Tales Corner 😉

Without further ado I'll post this week's topic...😳...

Should Writers write what they want to write-or what their readers want to read?

Of course, writers should write what they want to! It's their birth-write 😳 [yikes bad joke sry 😆]

On the other hand, what's the point in writing something no one wants to and will not read?

Should there be a balance or should it be only one of the two above options?

Fire away your opinions!! We're all waiting 😉

Cheers,

Tales Corner Development Team

great DOTW...
and i know exactly what my views on this are 😆

WEll basically i feel that you have to write what you want to write for that is what is closest to your heart... and unless you write something you have the feel for you never write it well... so to write well you have to get the feel of it and to get the feel of it you have to like what you write...

So totally agree with you on this yshh!!!!! I can write well only on inspiration I feel!

One person once told me that you have to write for yourself and if other people like it it is an added bonus... and i agree with it partly because writing should come from the heart... and thats when its good. A writing fron the mind will be all words with no feel in them... however perfect the grammar is... But the same peice of article from the heart, it is obvious that it is from the heart because that will make you feel...

But also i am the kind of person who likes my work to be admired... i want people to read my work and i want critical reviews and i want people to read what i enjoyed most writing... because when i write i write from the heart and i love what i write... and loving what i write i want to proudly display it to people... and when i display it i would like people to like my peice and for them to tell me that they love it as much as i do... i get my happiness from that...

Yup agree! No reviews....no encouragement for continuing at all!😳 I like it..no love it when ppl like my work and post detailed comments on that...n so I try to give long detailed comments from my side to ppl whose fic's I like!

But finally i believe that writing what i feel like will be putting my heart and soul into the work and that peice will be great by itself and it will be admired naturally for the piece will speak for itself...

I feel the same...the things I write on inspiration are much more appreciated than the ones I write on requests

Well to sum it all up i write primarily for myself... but in the long run to make it as a successful writer i want to write what people want to read... and therefore i make myself the people and write what i would like to read... so eventually i write for me...

Am i making any sense here 😆?

Well...ur making sense to all the writers...I dunno abt other ppl😆😆
