Odd Bag

If you spend enough time wandering about on the internet you will discover people fretting about the audience for their writing. It is a common affliction of those who write–they want the public to be pleased, and to pay attention. But a few people take a different stand.

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the
public and have no self.

–Cyril Connolly
