Do You Write For Yourself Or For Others?

[Glenn_44]

Honest question. Do you actually write for yourself, or are you thinking about how others will read it?

[ArVeeDee]

Started for myself. Stayed for the reactions. I hate admitting that, but yeah.

I have a little idea book. its usually by my bed for those 3am creative sessions (that you will have forgotten by morning)

If I think about readers too much, I freeze. So I pretend no one will ever see it... and then post it anyway.

[Jeffy]

There's no pure version of either. Even writing "for yourself" is influenced by everything you've read and heard.

[Mike]

I don't know about that. I had something similar happen.

Cheers for sharing.

[QuietNomad]

That is one way of looking at it. Totally get that.

Proper useful that.
