If you make a novel to please everyone, you are the Nickleback/Imagine Dragons of novel writing.

What does it mean? All of Nickleback and Imagine Dragons songs sound the same, and they hardly took risks when writing and producing sounds. No hate, but you are Nickleback if you write a novel to please everyone.

Excuse me? ?

Are you trying to get people to write like that?
It's good advice, both are very popular and successful.

B-b-b-but I like Nickleback.

 

[John_Owl]

so... If I write a novel to please others, I could end up like Nickleback, popular, famous, and well known? Meanwhile, if I write to please myself and take risks, then what, I'll end up like Savage Garden - a small dedicated fanbase but never really growing from there?

Just curious on what's the deal with the Nickleback joke. Do people hate him or something?
The only Nickleback songs I listened was Photograph (only listened once, misclick coz I thought it was the Ed Sheeran one), and Rockstar (I kinda liked it, but once again misclicked coz I thought it was the Eminem one).

Always write with a purpose.
Regardless of what that purpose is.
...
And sometimes my purpose is to look at this photograph.

Jokes on you, I'm AJR. I write novels that please no one, probably not even myself.
