I just want to write my fun little bisexual stories and I don't really mind too much if people don't read them, but I'm also confident that what I write about is relatable to other people and they'll be able to latch on to what I write.

Well, that and if you just go and look at the comments on my stories, it's obvious that they do lol
Sounds like you fall into the Hedonist Egoist class I mentioned!
Think big and you'll be big. *^^*
Thinking big is a starting point! I feel there's more to it, but it is a foundation.

As an aside, two of your images aren't showing on your signature.
Oh yeah, because I removed them. I need to remove 1 other soon, but I'll get to it. Changing my entire signature soon with new developments. Though thanks for pointing it out!

I'd say I kinda fall into the existential egoist category in the sense that I do art (not just writing, but music) just because I feel like it's essential to some part of me. It's as basic as drinking water or calling out "cows" whenever you pass them on a road trip. I just have to do it, or else I wouldn't be "me" :sweating_profusely: :sweating_profusely: :sweating_profusely:

I say pride is pretty important in writing; however, I disagree with putting your ego first. The most important part, and probably the most enjoyable thing in writing, was the ability to connect with your readers. Being able to exchange thoughts with them could be pretty rewarding, and that alone validates your ego. In this case, your novel's ego.

And before even connecting with them, to connect with yourself. Nothing says having an ego like looking out for #1. ?

I actually have more... Hmm... This is something I'll elaborate on more since I feel we're on the same page in truth, there's just more to things I haven't gone into.
