Sound reasoning and I'm glad you have come to the conclusion you have. Drilling down into it, as they did on the podcast, it seems to me that your motivation has moved a bit from 'disagree' to 'agree' over the course of writing the piece. At the start, your motivation seemed to be to get your work in front of an audience (to make the charitable gains), now it's to do the writing for yourself, put it out and if people enjoy it, that's a bonus. (I may of course be utterly wrong here, but that's the impression I get.) For my part, I would agree with the statement, I largely create for me, have no pressure of deadlines (self imposed or otherwise). I do share my creations with mates and (eventually) I'll try and get it out there somehow, but mostly for me! Fab read Aaron, cheers.
Thanks for the kind words pal, since i wrote this i have been producing more work than i ever did before. I think the freedom i have given myself tp not worry about it as a Business and just enjoy the medium has helped me a lot.
Great, thoughtful read.
Thanks Matt
