I'm writing truer than I used to, but there's always the quiet pull of what would sell better. The honest sentence and the crowd-pleasing one sit side by side, and I feel the tug on every page. Choosing what's true over what's easy tests me more than I expected.
More people experience this than they realize.
What sells keeps pulling against what's true every time you sit down to write.
