In creative writing, knowing your audience is really important. It can also be pretty tricky to keep a steady tone and voice throughout your work.

Here are some key points to think about:

1. Different Expectations: Every reader comes from a different background and has different wants. This can make it hard to find a tone that everyone likes. Because of this, writers might feel like they need to change their voice just to please all the readers.

2. How People Understand Things: Each person reads and interprets tone in their own way. This means that what sounds clear to the writer might feel mixed up to the reader. So, there can be a big difference between how the writer and the reader see things.

3. Ways to Fix It:

   • Focus on Your Audience: Figure out who you are writing for and make changes to your work with that audience in mind.
   • Ask for Feedback: Share your writing with beta readers and see how they react. You can then adjust your tone based on their thoughts.

Even with these challenges, taking a mindful approach can help you keep your voice steady in your writing.
