By the time you put in the work and produce something, the industry will have already moved on to the next trend and you&rsquo;ll be too late. Instead of trying to identify and replicate trends, find out who you are and what you have to say personally, advises Davis. Write the truth that you know, and find stories that interest and excite you. Writing from your innermost self will lead to more genuine and compelling stories.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-60/TheImportanceofFollowingYourOwnVisionasaWriterRatherthanChasingTrends.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TheImportanceofFollowingYourOwnVisionasaWriterRatherthanChasingTrends.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
