Hmm. What’s the purpose of our writing? If it’s really just a numbers game for popularity, that clearly satisfies some, but not all.

I realize that’s the point of your post, so point 6 is relevant in this context. It’s handy to be retired, so I don’t have to write to earn a living, which is freeing. For me, it’s grand to just let Heart speak & say what it will, not judging or letting the mind direct that flow.

To each his/her own, but of course. Each garden is unique, an expression of the gardener, so there’s no intended criticism, here, just sharing another perspective on the journey of Life. 😃
