This was a wonderful read. I've only just gotten my social media off the ground in the past few weeks, but I had an "aha" moment when even the notifications coming in from my friends and family were enough to profoundly disrupt my creative work. I am not a casual social media user, so I was genuinely surprised to see how little "success" it would take for that success to undermine the whole creative operation 😂
My main takeaway is that you can't share what you haven't created, so if any form of sharing poses an existential threat to the creative process, you've got to find a way to protect the art. Doing so is not just idealistic. It's pragmatic.
Thanks for a wonderful piece. Looking forward to reading more!
