Writers are never writing for everyone; their choices always pick out an intended reader. (opens korrents.com)
“this idea that we are never writing for everyone, simply by virtue of the choices we are making. Not everyone is our intended reader; some readers get to eavesdrop.”

Writers need not take all the feedback they get; knowing the core of the work is part of writing it. (opens korrents.com)
“I suggest that not all feedback is feedback they have to take; that knowing the core of your work, and the voices that might nurture it, is as much a part of the writing as putting words to the page.”
