“Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
— From “Ulysses” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892)
You have to balance writing what you want and writing to market.
