What is the biggest lesson you've learned about writing? WRITE. FOR. YOURSELF. FIRST. In my opinion, there is really no other lesson that comes close. Write for yourself. Write what you want to read. Write what you enjoy reading about.
Not only because if you love it, then it's nearly impossible that you're the only person on the planet who will like that thing, but also because if you love it, it will show in the writing. Readers will be able to sense the passion behind the words, and if you're unsure of your skill in writing, sensing the passion in a work can carry a reader through a rougher story. I've read books that weren't particularly well executed, but had passion behind every word and loved them. If you love it, your readers will love it. If you are bored, frustrated, or hating what you're producing, that will come through too.
