#i know we all try to downplay it but literature isn't an art for Nothing

[kerflooey]

i just feel like saying we are all writing publicly on the internet which is vulnerable enough but on top of that we're doing collaborative writing. we depend on others adding on to our views feelings ideas and style. as much of a hobby as it is and as unseriously as you want to take it it's still a form of art, it's innately personal and vulnerable. engage with other people's writing as you would with any art whose author is in front of you. comment and contribute if you feel strongly enough about it but always for the better. you don't have to love or praise or keep interacting with what isn't for you but you do have to respect it.

#tbd. #not about any of you in particular #but i also do mean this in a way where i see what everyone is doing and want you to know if i follow you #i genuinely appreciate and enjoy what you are doing #i know we all try to downplay it but literature isn't an art for Nothing #we are all being vulnerable and we all Care about what we are doing #so either SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION TO THE OTHER ARTISTS IN THE CIRCLE OR LEAVE THEIR SPACE #and of course all this within reason like genuinely problematic things should be pointed out etc #but over all ... be Nice!
