A Double Take

I want to write for me.  I want to write how I write, the way it feels good, knowing it’s coming from the same place that the rest of the book came from.  I want to write because that’s what I do, and because I don’t know how to do anything better, and I want the people who love my writing to love it because of that.

I don’t want to write to sell my book.  But I want to sell my book.

Is it possible to meet in the middle?
