• It would be interesting (read: fundamental sea-change) if libraries had the same social heft as art galleries; the same backer prestige. #
• I'm imagining that libraries-as-galleries thing: bookstores thus become like commercial art-shops. Balance shifts. Art ? Product? Hmm. #
• Reason I'm thinking about this: I know lots of people who paint just to enjoy painting; it's okay. Far fewer writers can do the same thing. #
• Writers writing just to write are, today, often seen as failing, because writing SEEMS more about finding audience than creating a thing. #
• I mean, you share a story and get "Okay: who's the audience for this?" No one asks that about the puppy painting you did last weekend. #
• I think you can write things you enjoy, and if it's good, it'll find audience. But it's hard to SEE that in today's "industry" environment. #
