I'm an unimpressive red-fish that's been a red-fish for soon three candles now. That is but a fact, not a complaint by any means. :)
As an introvert, I get easily overwhelmed with the kind of socializing and keeping up with everything this kind of ecosystem requires in order to thrive. Also, just a fact.
And not that I didn't try, I did get swept up in the Writers Block community back in the day, even nearly jeopardizing my 9-to-5 by struggling to live up to my own expectations and commitments with a split focus.
Now I've learned to take it easier on myself, minding my own tiny, cute, little red-fish business to the best of my energy-levels and abilities at any given space-time.
I can only admire how effortlessly you and others here cook extensive sheats of mind-expanding content - two, three times a day.. and I can't even manage to READ all of that, let alone cook equivalently eloquent, relevant, and lengthy comments to respond.
But is the fact that I am not by design "built" to thrive in this ecosystem going to drive me away? Nop, sooner or later I always come back, because of creativity and because some of the good ones also always keep returning back.
Hugs and Coffee,
