Conny writes Tip of the Iceberg

“The writer cannot do anything but offering the story and doesn’t even need to be concerned about the ability or the reaction of the readers.”

This is a classic view but I don’t think it applies across the board. For example with Mercury in Libra I’ve got no capacity not to be concerned about the reader. I’ve just not got that switch. This is also a very intellectual, detached way of seeing things and while I might aspire to something like this, I doubt I get very far.

I think I am best off to continue to try to be me. I co-create with the audience here and I am dependent on them. This is very different than traditional authoring.

I did write a book, it’s a long one and I think it’s a very good one but I did not write it in a vacuum. I wrote it the same way I write this blog. I had people cheering, booing, abusing, you name it and clearly I am fueled by that.

I am not someone who can work in isolation without concern for other people and I don’t think it’s a good idea I try. Much better to try to improve on the skills I do have which are fairly unique and these recent blogs were and attempt to do exactly that.

I am failing on this blog a lot lately (Saturn) but I feel pretty good about making the efforts I’ve made to innovate and experiment (Uranus).

I also think I will figure this out eventually (like I did the sugar) but I am slow so between now and then you’ll just have to love me (or not) as-is.
