Rough One Off
Huh?
Who else is wondering if writing and self publishing for the public at large is worth it? Anyone else?
Over here trying to make myself small and fade into the background.

The last couple of years things weren’t as expected. Confidence disappeared, and feelings got hurt. Doubt crept in.
It took some false starts trying to make things right before realizing that sometimes pushing forward isn’t the best option to take. Sitting back, observing gets you closer to the right answer. It isn’t a waste of time or energy. It is the best next thing to do.
In light of that, these last two months of this year, the action chosen is making note of what, where and how social media and self publishing are, or could be, a part of my creativity. Scale back or change any one or combination is part the future decision, but the ultimate question is really — Is it worth it?
That answer is the only one that matters. It’s quite possible that this is merely a leveling up stage of my own writing development and growth. Or it is the realization that this is not for me. No, not writing, that is not the question, but sharing publicly the stories and musings. Is this the how?
If not this, then is there a how? Or was writing always meant to be only for my own enjoyment? Lots of questions to answer.
