Coronavirus.
When oh when will we see stories about diabolical viruses and teams of scientists who will battle them?
This is writing to the market, to our fears, to the latest current headline.
But how long will it last? Sure, if you were to hurry and create such a story, it might sell a few copies. But when the fears end, so will your sales. Then what?
Write what interests you. Let the market find you, not the other way around. The best stories were written with no one in mind, not for any headlines. If the story is written well enough, it will create headlines of its own.
