Nothing will always amount to Nothing

According to Stephen King, whom I highly respect, there are two kinds of writers. The writers of the first kind write for their readers. The writers of the second one, though, write for themselves.

I think it was RAH who said that you should write your first draft for yourself, then on the second draft write for the rest of the world.

Herman Hesse (to go on dropping names) said that the secret of inspiration is to write the book you want to read; but this might explain why he stayed a cult author. Better is to write the book you want to read, the way everyone would want to read it.
