What a writer should consider when starting to write a new book

 In a time of rapidly growing internet communities, I find (and that's my niche) all books using a gentle, poetic language, magical words, touching the soul and reaching out, are the most important books affecting the health of readers. The market is flooded with hard porn, romances, crime stories and time travelling, in my humble opinion. All good, I am reading them as well. But, this world is cold, violent, profit orientated. We have lost our souls. Especially, if we only are out to make the quick penny or two. Nothing wrong with that, we all have to live. The main thing, however, is not to let these ambitions rule our passion for writing. If a writer has the burning fire within him or her, the heart ( I don't mean the cheesy one), to connect with readers who are picking up a book to comfort them in their silent hours, he or she should just write. A good cooking book, for instance, can give all this comforting, loving feeling a reader remembers from his childhood. There you go. Any book written with passion and heart and the writer feeling the need in their own heart - will sell. I am convinced.
