Audience

Who do I write for? 

When I write for me, 
It flows.
My hand can't keep up 
With the current of thoughts 
Spilling out of me
For an audience of one.
One and only me.

More than one,
And it comes in drips.
Like ringing out a towel, 
Waiting 
For one drop, 
Another, 
Hoping to connect 
The random
To create something of value to others. 
But what is the value for me? 

Who should I write for? 
Me. 
Problem solved.

  2. Absolutely! Write for yourself. While audience matters, you have to make sure what you're writing holds meaning and value to you first. (Not ALWAYS possible, but if you spin some unpleasant tasks, it can be easier.)
