"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. 

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."

This is not another dead-horse beating debate over what you should write, because there's no contest. Write what you love. End of story. Why?

• Because life is too short to crank out words that don't inspire even yourself.
• Because your passion will show up in your story.
• Because if you don't believe in your work with all your heart, then why do it in the first place?
• Because even if there's not a market for your story now, that doesn't mean there won't eventually be one.

Here's the dealio . . .  readers want to read gut-wrenching authentic stories written by passionate authors who love their plots and characters as much if not more than them.

Don't chase the market. Don't write what you feel obligated to write. Don't chase someone else's dream. Chase yours.
