Is Anybody Out There?

One of the hardest things in writing is entertaining an audience. From a combination of scientific readings it has become clear to me that there is a WIDE variety of ways to write. It seems that these ways to write are a direct reflection of who you want to read what you write. The terms and sentence structure used become more complex as you dive into scientific papers while children's stories are very simple.

As a writer choosing a specific audience might be a difficult task. Most writers tend to pick audiences that are too broad. A writer should pin-point their audience so that they can expound upon examples and terms without the worry of losing readers.
I feel that best sellers are written by authors who have a special lure that appeals to a much wider audience. They are able to write specifically, yet each different audience member is drawn to their stories (i.e. Bill Bryson).
