there is only you doing what you are doing. there is you doing what you are doing and that is always what you were going to be doing.
your life may seem different in a small way because of your perception of reality. space-time is not something that is happening right now, unfolding before you. we think that new moments are occurring every second but they aren’t. it just feels like we are experiencing them for the first time.

getting something published, expanding your social network as a result, feeling more connected… these things have not changed your life. these things are just your life happening. it may feel like your life has changed, but it is like if you are watching a movie and as it plays you keep thinking “this movie is changing, this movie keeps changing”. in a way, that is true. but it is kind of the wrong term. it is not changing, it is happening.

so the answer to the original questions of ‘why do you write?’ and ‘why do you try to get published?’ is something like: “because that’s what i am doing.”
