Ah artistic types ...

Very quick poll, NB, the first word of the first answer should be care, but lj won't let me fix it. *Damn you, LJ!*:[Poll #1507051]For my own part, after RL attacks of the last option, I entered fandom determined to work solely for myself, and do sometimes achieve that happy state, but more often it's accompanied by occasional wobblies. Having chatted to several friends on the topic, the wobblies seem a common surprise guest.

What about you lot? And how do you combat the wobblies if you're someone they hit?

If they were writing only for themselves, they wouldn't need to bother posting things publicly.

In broad agreement with much of your comment, but I am not sure about this paragraph. I was trying to figure out in my head today why I put stories out into the world when I am happy with them, and came up with many bad metaphors, before deciding, that's just what one does with a finished story. Until you do that, it's not finished.

Of course, I am sleep deprived and whacked myself in the head this morning, so the likelihood that this concept is deranged or the product of yet another brain injury should not be discounted.
