I was listening to an Ocean Vuong interview the other day, and at one point he said he isn’t comfortable calling himself a writer.
“Because what was the point of putting out writing that wasn’t optimized for pageviews, audience growth, and revenue? What would I have to show for all that effort? What would my writing be worth?”
I feel you. And I’m so grateful.
