Quote for Monday

If you alter your writing to pander to a market trend – or a supposed trend – then you’re compromising your craft, number one, and number two, you’re no longer a writer, you’re a hack. The only concession a writer should make to the market is to maintain a contemporary style and view point, since there’s no market for Victorian prose. Be aware of what’s going on in the world so you don’t make outrageous faux pas about things. If you know nothing about rock ‘n’ roll, find out something about it. Do your research.
