I think about this more than sales, reviews, or algorithms.
When someone finishes one of my books, songs, or stories…how do I want them to feel?
Seen?
Less alone?
Inspired?
Understood?
Calmer somehow?
The stories that stay with me the longest usually found me at exactly the right moment in life.
Curious what other writers think:
What do you hope people feel after reading your work?
Oh wow @kat thats a mixed bag - i think you can relate when i say all of the above. Some projects stem from healing and the release on the page where you want to inspire and give hope then there's others where youre hoping someone can resonate and want to collaborate so the project can move forward. Can I tick the box where it says all the above?!?!
