The value of my activities to the world also itches me. I understand this deeply:
"Some days moment to moment I veer between feeling that my series matters and that the time and energy are worth it and feeling anxious about and then at peace with the whole enterprise collapsing." It takes courage to keep going on.
Yes, Fran, it does. I am glad that feeling resonates with you and, at the moment, in fact, I am wresting with some new writing and wondering if I should just junk it. Courage! Thank you, as always, for reading and sharing your thoughts.
Loved your reflection on what may be important to you but not to others. Isn’t that so often the case when we write? We throw our work out into the universe and hope it will connect with someone, while also reflecting on where we are and what we are thinking.
"What is big in my world may hardly exist in the world of another." Ain't that the truth!
