We often have to be willing to reinvent ourselves to have a successful writing career.

A few of my colleagues loved it and encouraged me to turn it into a novel. After evaluating the market, I decided that my novel would just add to the deluge which already exists in the field and switched to a realistic novel. I first drafted it in NANO 2012 and am now revising it for the third time. My colleagues do not understand my decision and not everyone would make it. For me, I feel that it was the right choice to pick a project that I would both love but which could also have market appeal.
