In Response to Melissa Bonneville's Post

I completely agree with Melissa's comment on how much there is to take into account when writing something. How do you really know the characteristics of ALL your readers? How could you ever know what they are thinking? We're not mind readers!! And how do you cater to every person who might happen upon your written work?

While we may not know the answer to every one of these questions, just being aware of them will help in our writing. We might miss the target completely the first attempt, but at least we are trying. Throught trial and error, next time, we might hit a bullseye.
