Do I want to write novels or do I just want to be appreciated?

It turns out I just want to be appreciated. Selfishness is my hubris and soon I will die.

I am burdened by absent fulfillment

You wanted to be a writer

But now you’ve seen through the curtain of hard work and luck and aren’t finding it worth it

The common reader was replaced with the common writer

And now there is nothing interesting for me to say

Only those who shiver at the idea of being celebrated and would rather sink their lives into the craft because nothing else feels as fulfilling are fit to write.
Is what a midwit would say, but anyone's welcome. Every unending frustration, every single desire, every failure to meet those wishes and short-lived victory that only would bring you deeper into the spiral of misery is worth chronicling into a story within stories.
As long as you write, that's good enough.

Do you experience fulfillment?

>>18634217
If you imagine fulfillment as a cathartic, almost orgasmic pleasure for every single second that ticks in every waking and unwaking moment, not really.
But I do feel like this is where I belong, in spite of the never-ending, creeping thoughts of ending it once and for all. That's just part of the experience I chose to live, and enjoy.

Why can't it be both?

Why can't you want to create something and be appreciated for the act of doing it?

First: delete all the blowjacks
I really would appreciate it.

>> No.18635276

>>18633725
If you reach the age of 30 without having written any stories to completion, or novels, or scripts, or screenplays...then you are seeking validation and appreciation, not success in a craft. Success in a craft is a grind most of the time, with little splashes of validation and appreciation in between.

>> No.18635634

>>18633725
Both feelings are valid, anon. You should be wary not to instrumentalise your creative energies though. Write in isolation, write for the sake of it, and see where that gets you.
