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?

I primarily write for myself, because it's something I've always wanted to do, and fandom is a way of getting around the fact that I'll never be good enough for publication.

With the exception of exchange fests, I write what I would like to read. I don't try to write what I think people would like to read, mainly because if the subject matter doesn't speak to me, then I won't be able to do it justice.

I do care about comment count, and get very excited about each and every (positive) one. If I didn't care about it, then I wouldn't bother posting. I don't really have a tried and tested method for curing the wobblies - mostly I just give myself a strong talking to, and utilise my stiff upper lip *g*
