I think most authors write the book that they want to write, but also I want to write a book that people want to read. To me, the supply side and the demand side of the equation matter. It's very hard to write a home run; it's like music. And how do I not- If it's Facebook scrolling, then, you know, that's a good replacement. So yeah, each one has a little bit of a different, different motivation.
