Just wrote a post about meeting your readers’ expectations and writing outside the box over on Liz’s blog. Please check it out.
Some of these choices mean supressing certain aspects of our personalities. Some choices we make definitely require us to toe the line and I’m okay with that.
When we have a blog we have responsibilities to ourselves to be true in our writing but then we start to find an audience and often that audience comes with expectations. Those expectations can be seen in the comments and in the reactions to certain content. It does seem tempting to just stick with what’s been working.

I know precisely what you mean but I have learned that expecting the unexpected is like reminding yourself to breathe!
So true!
Well, I had no idea you had a blog, missie. Congrats. I like what I see so far.
Maybe I’ll just have to subscribe.
Rock on.
Thanks you! It’s new, glad you liked
