Be sure your subject matter is something your reader can really get into! Something they will enjoy! Something that holds their interest.
… Once upon a time there was a village filled to overflowing with many delicious and succulent humans!
“Well now that sounds really interesting.
I think I’ll read some more of this fine story!”

(A good tip to think on! Are you writing for yourself or for your reader?)
Thanks for stopping by. Have an excellent week ahead! Penny
The Why About This 
Great tip Penny! Hope you are having a lovely week.
Thank you LuAnn, my friend. Hoping the same for you!
Once upon a time…
…RoSy found a lucky Penny!
xo 🙂 🙂 xo
I knew we were neighbors for an excellent reason, RoSy! I adore you – you always manage to make me smile (a very very good thing)! 🙂 xo
I love the juxtaposition of this post.
Hey Sandra, thanks. I loved the illustration of the dragon reading about dragon tales and it seemed to me there was a correlation between how we view our (perspective) readers and what we present to them with our words! 🙂 xx
Very interesting concept Penny.
Do you think the difference between writing for yourself or your reader changes the perspective or quality of writing?
Hi, Rebecca. In a word, nope. At least I believe this to be true most of the time. On occasion, writers can get carried away with an issue or describing a setting or circumstance when the plot or story really needs to be moving forward at a reasonable pace.
Being a word lover, I can plead guilty to this myself. All writers are writing a piece of themselves, their imagination and opinions into their stories. It is their story after all. In this post my reference point was writing content that will hold the readers interest and, of course, having fun with the illustration.
Nice tip Penny. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Indira. Thanks. I thought the dragon made things most apropos! 🙂
I agree.
I always try to engage the reader! Nice post Penny!
Yes you do, Barb. In a most delightful way, (I might add) my friend. xx
I write for both…at least I try. First I write for myself (the story I’d like to read) and then when i edit I start thinking about readers.
Hi Carol. I agree with you completely! Sounds like you have the perfect mix going. 🙂
I love that picture, and that first story line. Great fun! Thanks ♥
Hello dear friend of mine. Isn’t the illustration fun? Hope you had great Monday, Ute. 🙂
I write for myself, but hope my readers find it interesting to read
Hi Terry. Writers do want to share, don’t we? Each in our own way. I have no doubt that your words do both – share a piece of you while being entertaining and enjoyable to read. 🙂
Thank you so much Penny
You’re welcome, Terry. Most sincerely.
Like the new theme Penny. I also like that dragon reading a story 😀
Have a good Sunday 🙂
Thanks Alastair. I wish I had my own dragon. How fun that would be. I did have a very good Sunday, I hope your Monday was great and that your Tuesday will be even better! 🙂 xx
It was a good Monday 🙂 I went to a beach about an hour away and took photos of my sister on her horse 🙂
