Strokes

When I'm in the heat of working on a new project, I don't give thought to what others may think of it -- unless the project is blatantly commercial, like a screenplay or certain kinds of journalism. But most often these days, I work on projects that I am passionate about and that's enough justification to keep me going. At the same time, when a project like this is finished, there can be a let down. I may ask myself, Well, that took a lot of time and energy -- does anyone except myself give a rat's ass about it? Sometimes one never knows.

So it's nice to be surprised, as today, with evidence that sometimes someone does give a rat's ass. A link to today's stroke.
