Give the gift of literature

Well its black friday. That day when everyone rushes walmart pepper sprays others for a tv and plenty of other stupid stuff in order to get the most modern i device or tv or video game. This year for Christmas give someone a book. Now don't just go buy the latest NY Times best seller. Seriously think about the person. What are their interests/hobbies? What books have they told you about? It can be anything from a cookbook to a novel to a scholastic journal. The point is to think deeply about the persons characteristics and how those are reflected in literature. Now the interesting part. What does this say about your writing? Who is your audience? Who would you buy your book/story/essay for? Seriously think about it and how it is reflected in your writing. If it's not the audience you are looking for, change. Don't change your personal voice just try to be more conscientious of your audience.
