I believe one shouldn’t pussyfoot, and simply say that you simply write the stuff that you simply want to learn. So you write for your self, little doubt about that. But I do have a kind of romantic concept of somebody of their twenties, of a sure bent, and once they choose up a e-book by me, they suppose—as I’ve completed on a number of events—“Ah, here is one for me. Here is a writer who I’ll have to read all of, because they’re speaking directly to me, and they’re writing what I want to read.” And generally you’re doing the signing queue and a reader comes previous and also you signal the e-book, and there’s just a little alternate of the eyes, the place you suppose, “Ah, that’s one of them.” So there’s that very best reader. And it’s somebody who’s discovering literature and houses in on you. I’m conscious of such readers.
