Isn't that wonderful?

I remember drawing comics in my bedroom as a child.

Really tiny comics, so I didn’t run out of paper.

So tiny I didn’t write the words, to maximize story-per-page. I knew the story, and that’s all that mattered: I didn’t expect a single other soul to see them.

Now? We can press publish and complete strangers can see our work. Maybe not millions of strangers. Maybe just a few. One or two. Eleven or twelve, even. People you’ve never met. Enjoying at your work.

I know people like to obsess over ‘stats’ and ‘likes’… but think about it.

Total strangers are enjoying your work. Work you’ve created on an infinite digital canvas. You can fit the words in, there’s room for all of them. And you can do it again, and again, and again. There’s infinite paper now. Just uninterrupted creativity, and a few strangers appreciating it.
