In my adventures teaching under-18s, I have observed a lot of precocious kids writing what they think is popular rather than connecting with themselves.
I agree! I stay focused on writing what I want to read rather than trying to mimic someone else’s style or type of story. It’s not always perfect but I love it and so do my readers.
👏 bravo! I agree that we must write the stories we want to read. To be inspired and pay homage to a story or idea is one thing but to drown out our own unique creative voice is another. It’s important that we as creators engage and encourage new and exciting ideas and experiences.
