Thank you! As I was scrolling, I found someone else who mentioned the same thing and added the part about skim reading.
Being a bit detail oriented in general will also help me out with being more self aware as well. I will be able to pay attention to the smaller details or changes I need to make to improve.
Skim-reading is what most do here, if even that. That's why I shifted my expectations, removed them actually, and now write only for myself. If people read and engage then great. If not then I still gain the reward I get from the writing itself.
I am glad you brought this point up! Few weeks ago, I did think the same that people want something they can quickly read over. I began changing up my style to make it as concise as possible and cut down my writing. Now, I am considering your point.
I would rather take pleasure from my own writing than cater to changing styles of other people.
This is a good state to be in. My enjoyment comes through my writing and so I'm in control of my destiny and feelings. I love people reading and engaging of course, but better that I find the value from my own actions rather than the expectation of other people's.
You nailed it with this statement. In the long run, I find this approach will have me coming back to hive for my own pleasure.
