Very simply, the worst book you could ever write is the book that you believe other people will enjoy. The best book you can write is the book that you yourself would enjoy reading. Write your book for someone slightly smarter than you, but wear your learning lightly. Write each chapter with some view of the emotional response you hope to stir in your reader. Write for their heart, not their mind.
