Slowcore HQ

Recently I had a slowcore breakthough of sorts.

I decided to just relax and not stress at all about building an audience or attracting engagement to my work as a writer. 

(NB: I've made that same decision many times before, but it's harder to make it stick when I'm deeply ensconced in a cultural milieu that rewards people for capturing attention and engagement).

Truth be told, I'm content with quietly working in the shadows anyway. That's where I do my best writing. 

But it happens slowly. On its own timetable.  

If this means I'll never make a sustainable living doing the writing I want to do — because even in web3 the financial rewards go only to those who put in extra time on top of their creative work to build sizable audiences — then it's time to make my peace with it and return to day jobs.
