Hi Stepa, hope you are doing OK in your current situation. Oddly enough I've also been thinking a lot about which topics to write, etc and even asked my readers the same question via a poll. Responses varied but there was a significant number of people who said to keep writing about what I felt most passionate about and I expect that's true for many writers.
I've also read that essay about the dangers of audience building and becoming trapped by an online persona and it's a fair warning. I wonder if that's what has happened to some of the more grotesque (not physically) public figures we read about: they may have been decent at one point but they are now typecast as monsters and have grown into those roles.

Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot, Mark. Means a lot!
