CONT Familiarity
Which maybe explains why I sell pretty much no books because I also don't want to write the same thing as the stuff I've already read. I want to write MY thing. If other people like it, therefore, that is fantastic and kind of a surprise. But it's way more fun for me to spend months of my life working on something that's to my tastes than to some imaginary reader's who may or may not even hear about the book let alone like it. #WritersCoffeeClub
