I write beach reads for people who vacation in the shadow realm. If you make art I want to see it.

To jump off of that, not only is it not creation, it's *really* not procreation. Take the artist out of the exchange and replace it with your own whims & you quickly enter an aesthetic/emotional death spiral, with no new psychic energy entering the mix.
