@young-boss-karin: I've noticed over time that when a hobby becomes lucrative it becomes stressful. At first, you're just doing it for the love of it, not caring if it's perfect but the moment you start getting paid for it, the attention matters too much. You begin to focus on improving and getting your money, rather than just doing it for the love of it. It's how I've been feeling about writing. I really needed it to go back to being my hobby so I began making videos but then I was already only known for writing so, I couldn't just let it go like that. The money comes from there, you know. The idea of getting noticed is quite subjective. Most times, I tell myself I'm fine if just one person gets to view my content but who am I kidding? I feel like a million bucks when 10 or 20 people view it. Makes me feel like I'm doing something right, whether or not they just viewed it for a few seconds. They increased my views lol. Then I think about the value I put out or the value I feel I'm putting out. Do they get it? Did I just want my time? What if this or that? All that just takes away the joy. I feel like I just totally mixed up everything unwanted to say but it was an informative video. I wasn't able to complete it but I did get the bits and pieces from every part.
@carys: It is amazing when you start to find your tribe. This is what I like about Hive even though my audience is small, I actually feel like a few people are really reading everything I write. That is an amazing feeling, and I think you are right it raises the bar on quality. In theory.
@vincentnijman: I really enjoyed this episode that I guess was the second half of our video call. I love how you actually seem to have used ( almost ) everything of our talk, even though we were pretty much winging it, unprepared ( or perhaps exactly because of this ). I hope this is interesting for others as it feels for me. Looking forward to talking again soon! I'm excited for you that this finally starts to take off :<)

@ai-summaries: Here is a detailed summary article about the discussion on failure and creativity: Embracing the Journey: Reflections on Failure and Creativity In this candid conversation, two creatives delve into the nuances of failure, the pursuit of artistic expression, and the importance of finding one's creative community. The discussion offers insights that resonate with anyone navigating the ups and downs of bringing their passions to life. Overcoming Self Imposed Expectations The hosts acknowledge that as artists or individuals deeply invested in their craft, they often raise the bar for themselves, even when their audience may not demand it. This internal pressure can stem from a desire to create work that aligns with one's personal vision and the standards set by admired creators. However, they caution against letting these self imposed expectations hinder the creative process or lead to feelings of inadequacy. The Power of Finding Your People The hosts emphasize that once you connect with your target audience or "your people," the creative journey becomes more focused and fulfilling. Having a community that understands and supports your work can provide the validation and encouragement needed to continue pursuing your passions, even in the face of setbacks. Navigating the Challenges of Finishing Projects The discussion delves into the struggles many creatives face when it comes to completing projects. The hosts share personal experiences of juggling day jobs and creative endeavors, leading to burnout and the difficult decision to prioritize one over the other. They acknowledge that the final stages of a project can be the most challenging, often due to a fear of what comes next or a lack of confidence in the work. Reframing Failure and Embracing the Process The hosts emphasize the importance of reframing the concept of failure and focusing on the creative process rather than the final product. They share examples of how their "failures" along the way have ultimately shaped their ability to create work that is more aligned with their vision and values. The discussion encourages a shift in mindset, where the journey itself becomes the primary source of fulfillment, rather than the pursuit of external validation or commercial success. The Need for Creative Community The hosts express a desire for a more collaborative creative environment, where they can engage with like minded individuals and draw inspiration from the energy of a shared workspace. They acknowledge the challenges of maintaining motivation and momentum when working in isolation, and the benefits that can come from being surrounded by a supportive creative community. Embracing Imperfection and Sharing the Process The hosts discuss the value of sharing their creative process, even if it means putting out "unfinished" work, rather than waiting for a polished final product. They recognize that this approach can help them stay connected with their audience and maintain a sense of momentum, rather than succumbing to self doubt or the pressure to achieve perfection. In the end, this conversation serves as a powerful reminder that the path of the creative is often winding and unpredictable, but that embracing the journey, finding your community, and reframing failure can be the keys to unlocking your fullest creative potential.
