Don't Lose Sight of Your Audience

As an author, it can be really easy to lose sight of who your audience is. I was putting final touches on my second book and I found myself becoming more and more particular about each and every sentence. I then reminded myself that this book is geared towards second graders. It is of course important to make sure that there are no spelling or grammatical errors for this (and any) age group. However, I had to keep reminding myself that this book was for the readers, not the critics. And I am pretty sure that the 6 through 8 year olds who get this book will enjoy the read.
