i hear you. i mean in the last couple weeks we’ve both written pieces for the same specific thing (dollar store show), right? that can be a good impetus and i’ve written some of my best work that way. i’ve written some of my other best work at points when i thought no one would ever publish anything else i wrote. i like it all different ways. lately i’ve been missing one of them. grass is always greener and whatnot.

i’ve written some things almost sort of to get published in places. or for specific things. lord knows we wouldn’t want to challenge your angst. as long as it’s not taking the piece in a direction contrary to you as a person and a writer, and also if it’s causing you to grow or consider certain things you usually wouldn’t, then fuck it yknow?
do i know what i am talking about?
not really. no.

by intent to publish i mean i think about where a piece of writing might end up more while still writing it, like a few lines in i’ll think to myself, this could be a journal x story, or this novel could only be published by press y. i worry it threatens to limit the work itself and i kind of miss the days when i’d be working on something as though no one would ever even consider publishing it. it’s a privelege to be able to publish my stuff, but i think about it too much given the fact that there’s no money in it and very few people will ever get the work in their hands, at least at this point. it ain’t angst. it’s a challenge.
