always hit your articles like a heat-seeking missile and this did not disappoint!

on the other hand, not sure if anyone else struggles with the idea of *engaging* with fans/followers, etc.

as i’ve gotten older [wiser and weirder] finding my perception of sustaining a *fan base* gives me anxiety. this is made even more vexing as i’m generally friendly, out-going [when in situations requiring out-goingness] but tend to get less comfortable when i’m the center of attention [which is REALLY RIDICULOUS as i clearly express through what i *do and create* and say to get *attention*].

if this is *a thing* and there’s a book, link or syndrome [ok, maybe imposter syndrome is in this psycho-orbit] to address THIS and put my ambivalence out to pasture, i’d be mighty grateful.

as always… thanks for the always insightful work, ms. wiest!

happy tuesday, :-)
