Day 20: It helps to have visitors

So before my blog, I wrote poetry in isolation. Worked and reworked and tried to perfect my words before I showed them to anyone. Knowing people would visit my poems on my blog helped me keep going. For me, creating with the knowledge that others were cheering me on, or at least stopping by my poem pages, was a real gift. Curious how that is for others when you do something creative. Different from a show or a recital, I'm speaking here more about a sense of the presence of supportive others in the "forming of" rather than showing a finished project.
