  • Realized, discussing new Trek movie, that for someone "SO not a Trek fan", I know a LOT of Trekstuff. Ditto Marvel. Honestly don't know how. #

  • 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. #
