I don't write For You. I write, first, and foremost, For Me.
I first realized that it's pretty much true for all artists when I realized that I played music for me, not for an audience, and everyone I was around that made music did so for the same reason. Then I found it true of painters as well, and other creative types. For me, that's where the satisfaction was - in creating something that pleased me. Any pats on the back were just frosting ;)
I'm currently most of the way through Crystal Variations (again), and it made me realize yet again just how good you are as writers. Thank you.
