Lovely words, Emily. I related to the detachment you mentioned. My intention for my newsletter(s) --yup, there are two because one of anything is never enough--is to write, publish and do my best to remain detached from results. Maybe it doesn’t always work but it reminds me how much I genuinely love writing, regardless of likes or shares or acclaim.
Thanks, Amie -- yeah, totally with you on detaching from outcomes, especially the social ones. There's too much pressure to engineer our writing for those outcomes these days... and engineering isn't really my speed. Guessing it isn't yours either!
