It's good not only to realize that you can't please all of the people all of the time, but that you don't want to. There's a certain type of reader that you don't ever want to write for.
As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her own invention. She, too, tended to reverse the norm.
I'm not the most detailed writer. I have a tendency to be more action-oriented vs. descriptive.
