For some reason I've always made my creations in fire & forget mode: writing a novel was fun to do, but actively promoting it seemed like something I never was any good at. And if I did try, the comments soon told me I wasn't good enough. On the other hand though, freely downloadable PDF of those same writings triggered well over 100.000 downloads in total, so maybe it wasn't all bad. But over time I learned that the joy of creation is far more important than the success of what you create. Maybe elon_musk wouldn't agree, but I don't need to be single-handedly redefining the course of humanity like he does.
So now I write here, and am more than happy getting a few hundred views per day, or less. All because I've learned over time that if people need my particular writing, they will be guided there by forces way beyond my control...
