/waves flag enthusiastically while pointing at this

"If it's not monetizable it's not art" is a ghoul's creed. Some of the most beautiful, most *Impactful* things I've ever read have been fics, and, money aside, I've gotten as much pleasure writing them as any professional author from their work.
This is part of why I’ll die on the hill of fanfiction being a perfectly legitimate form of writing in and of itself. It’s not just practice for “the real thing”—it IS the real thing. It’s creative work, creative expression. That it isn’t being done as part of commerce does not mean it’s valueless
I swear. Writing is the only discipline where we make people feel like failures for practising. How many songs does a violinist learn that never wind up in recital? How many studies do painters do? Acting exercises. Tennis for fun.

You're allowed to write without the intention of publishing.

“The reason we face the worst is because it helps us imagine the best.” What a fantastic, hopeful read. Treat yourself to this, and then spread it around.
I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue.

It's not a coincidence that we're being led by the least qualified monsters available; it's a deliberate strategy. Facing the Worst - a series about directional alignment.
