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.

What is your relationship to being seen by others? Do you feel safe when others see you?

Holy deep questions, Batman! Haha. If I'm to answer those questions in earnest, I'll have to think about them and return to this thread later, in true slowcore style.

Update: this morning I wrote some drafts with long responses to your excellent questions. I don't think this thread is the best place to post my answers, though. Maybe I'll start a new thread. Or maybe I'll turn my responses into a blog post. Or maybe I'll just leave them in draft form and post a short summary. Haven't yet decided. But I did want to thank you for asking the questions, in any case.

Amazing! You're welcome. No pressure to post anything btw. Another option is you don't post anything at all and keep that wisdom close to your heart. Whatever feels honest and right to you
