Write for readers

I have noticed that readers are much more forgiving of one's writing then writers are. I suggest writing for readers. They want a story and characters to love.  They'll over look some grammar and punctuation errors. What they want is a story that keeps them engaged. A writer is going to try to re-write the story for you, given half a chance. Because that is what they do -- write and re-write and re-write.  No, I say write for readers. They appreciate you so much more.
