When you write, do you have an audience in mind? That is, do you write thinking about how people will react to the story or with the intention of pleasing specific people? Or do you write entirely for yourself, following the story that calls to you without thinking about who might read it?

Most of the time, I write with one specific person in mind. Sometimes, it's a person I've been matched with for an exchange, and sometimes, it's a friend who has mentioned being interested in something specific. I find that I'm more likely to finish a story if I have someone specific in mind to show it to.

I do sometimes write things just for me, but those are likely to be fragmentary and not to go anywhere. Usually, I do this when I'm in the mood to write a particular sort of story and don't have anything in my WIP folder that fits.
