Ha. That was the name of my art show. I guess I should be better at this. When I’m done with the bar exam I think I’ll leave to get some distance and ponder some of those questions. Thanks anon.

You have two people who like it already, that means, worse case scenario it’s Everyone - 2. So, your conclusion is inherently flawed. The next question is why do you think your work is so bad that no one will like it? There’s always a target demographic for something. Be it ironic or sincere, there is always a market. There is always some group who will enjoy it. The real question is, who is that group of people, anon?

This could also be the wrong line of questioning, taking your word at its face. Maybe we should ask, where does this fear come from? Is it self worth? Is the argument “no one will like my stuff because I don’t like my stuff because I don’t like myself and anything myself produces is axiomatically bad and thus no one likes it because it is inherently bad.” If that’s the case, you have an inverse affliction, how impressive it is that you are such a spectacular writer that NOT A SINGLE PERSON likes your material. Wow. How does someone pull that off? I mean, there’s got to be a person or two out there that likes something EVERYONE hates. Oh wait, you already found those two, so it can’t be that either.

Maybe you’re scared of death and the realization you put all this time and love into something and you’d see it as wasted if no one else appreciated it. Well, if that’s the case how can you call yourself an artist? An artist created for the act of creation and self expression. If you aren’t doing that, then you’re writing to an audience, which, if that were the case, definitionally, you’d have people who would like it. So that can’t be it either.

Anon, why are you so scared?
