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?

Even though you very kindly chose multiple options (you can never edit any poll, btw), I still cannot decide what to tick, because it doesn't sound right even if I click one, four and five.
I don't find myself horrified because I always knew people with gazillion reviews who regularly throw public wobblies, and that most people get few comments (supply/demand always sliding), so it was no surprise to me that I'm often hurt or disappointed; yet I wish it would get lesser, though like stage fright it doesn't seem to?
I also couldn't even start comparing comment count or reviews to others, although once I had tried out a tracker and 2.000 hits (in a week) to seven comments (in all the years since) was the norm.
Obviously I don't work solely for myself, firstly because then I wouldn't be here and secondly - that point now only applies to myself - I need an impetus outside myself, I'm not reason enough for myself. I don't mean cheerleaders, since I never had any, but someone to write something for they might like to read.
And yet I still don't pander, grovel, cowtow or advertise *hits self repeatedly* so number one as well.
