Slee.

Thank you so much for this comment. I agree, but also know that editors and agents still focus a lot on writing what is salable. One well-known editor even asked me if I would be willing to take a few liberties with the facts to make my new book, Such Mad Fun, more commercial.

Now, so much of the advice to writers involves writing what you want to say, without worrying about whether it is salable. Thank you for a wonderful post!
