WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS?

Blog City Prompt: When you sit down to blog or write a short story do you consider what the audience expectations are? How important are each word, sentence when it comes to your target audience? If not, who are you writing for?

The genre of a story or novel determines the general audience target. I know some people will read anything and possibly enjoy most of it, but there always is a special group of readers for each genre.

I don't like to be totally narrow with style and language that general audience would be turned off or intimidated. At least at this point, I'm more concerned that the structure and mechanics of the writing is correct and will pass editorial examination. If the story is good, the action flowing and the conflict is dramatic as well as the emotional content---it still has to be correctly written and presented.

The learning curve to produce good or great writing is a continual challenge for me to produce for anyone interested in reading my work.  I think I'm never relaxed or satisfied.

Writing these blog posts is a new experience. It means write it right now today. I believe this is a very valuable leaning tool. I'm also finding other writers that I admire and like their ideas.

How cool is that? ...iggy
