#i have not read/seen a dune in absolute eons

[favvn]

I must create and share it, not for the note counts but for the love of it. Note counting is the joy-killer. Note counting is the little death of creativity that brings total burnout. I will create without care. I will share it online and let the notifications pass by without a sound. And when the hellsite hides my creation, I will let the disappointment pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn my eye to the inner truth: that my love for what I created will remain.

#litany against notes #maureen thank you for your help with the wording <3 #i have not read/seen a dune in absolute eons #inspired by the perils of gifmaking #but i left it vague enough for anyone who creates anything and shares it online #engagement metrics don't matter! your feelings about what you made do <3
