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?

There are the things I write solely for myself, then there are the things that I write with a mind to my audience. The solely for myself ones, I might as well do private except there are people who actively like to read me (who have told me so), and I don't mind the company. (Plus sometimes it gets me interesting surprise guests, like the time the artist from the Dinosaurs Having Sex With Robots illustration that I linked showed up on one of the Twitter imports and said that honestly they didn't know which partner all the spilled fluid was from, nor what sort of fluid it was.)

Then there's when I'm writing in public on purpose looking for an audience, and it's unnerving not to get any comments when I'm expecting at least one. Enter the wobblies.

Usually I go to one of my Partners in Crime and babble at them until they (not unkindly) tell me to shut up.
