No rotten tomatoes from me, and thanks,Michelle.

I think Market definition is very helpful for writers who are young and eager or a bit more mature or eager to publish. It is a valuable part of Prep. As for me, at this point, publishing is not the first item on my agenda; however, I can see the merit in market definition. So I'd vote for it to stay.

Fact is, I'd rather write the novel first, see if it says something, then I'd go from there.
