I'm honestly surprised that so many of SH writers don't want to be read
. I mean, we actually upload works for the whole wide world to see. It can be shameful. It can be scary. It's also more interesting what the target audience would say. But it's often people completely unrelated to the target audience that end up enjoying the most... I say that literature is written to be read. In the long run at least.
I also heard that you aren't supposed to tell people, because you expend the energy that could be used on proper writing that way. But honestly, writing is such a big part of life. It instils a sort of lens you start viewing the life with. To be secretive about that is like living a life of a kind of spy🫣.
