…i feel like audience work is prompt work…you can write the same article a million different ways by just choosing different audiences…inevitably no matter how far you push outwards the original audience will matter most…we have to satisfy ourselves with our creativity if no one else…great art can be made in other ways but seldom is…the creator benefits from joy in creation…
That's such an interesting observation and I hadn't thought of it that way, that the essence of what I'm trying to say would change if I did have a clearer audience idea in mind... What a helpful thing for me to have in mind while I try to settle on a conclusion for this topic, that perhaps my accidental feeling position is actually the right one for me for that reason you so cleverly stated... Thank you for sharing 😍
So earlier this year, I came across your notes regarding Ikigai... and your newsletter was one of the first I'd subscribed too because of that. Mostly, your notes always catch my attention. Also, I always see when you've supported or liked any of my posts regarding gratitude.
Trying to be more supportive of authors, I'm going back to read from those who keep showing up in the notifications.
It's really intriguing to feel such openness among the authors here, and it's something I appreciate greatly about your writing. This article really struck a chord with me, mostly because planning an audience or avatar doesn't feel authentic to me. Following joy and allowing connections to inspire are much more on path. So It was heartwarming to see your letter to others inviting this type of connection. Then of course to invite a response with a simple gesture... lit up the way here!
Thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful reply. Its so lovely to know it struck a chord and that others have also struggled with advice like defining an audience in detail in advance! 😍
