Lawrence Block started writing about the time PILOT retired as MacArthur's valet.
Block's first efforts were porn. He wrote better porn than you. Lots better. He tried Lee Child action adventures, and they sucked; Block isn't Lee Child or Ian Fleming.
Anyway, he sez there are two essential aspects of writing you must master: Characters and your readers. No one recalls plot, they remember characters. And dont write what readers don't want. That is, don't write what your competitors write. Toil the part of the vineyard all the others fear.
