As someone who's very creative and loves to write I never try to shine any light on my craft. I should but I don't, I have many unpublished stories. I am scared to share my work with people but then I realize no one cares! they will either love it or hate it. When I first started my blog, it was a secret but then I started sharing it with a few people even though I was scared out of my mind. I am a perfectionist, so nothing is good enough for me when it comes to my own writing.
I just started a podcast and honestly, I don't care if no one listen to it because most writers or creatively incline people get more accolades and praises after they die. Take a look Sylvia Plath the woman who wrote " the bell jar" but then tragically killed herself in an oven ugh what a tragedy. She never published her own work, her husband did after she died, I believe (don't quote me on that because I think I read it somewhere) needless to say people didn't know about her true talent until after she passed away.
I will continue to write my heart out and publish new episodes on my podcast to share my thoughts because I deserve to have a voice. I deserve to share my artistry, my legacy will live on when I die :) my children will see how I grew up and what I was talking about when I was younger... it's my own time capsule. I don't care if no one reads my stuff or listen to my podcast it's all for me not anyone else; although I am glad to share with people who are interested.
