I imagine most people who try writing on the internet don't acquire any audience at all.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoI didn't see that as suggesting an audience. To me it sounds more like online friends who know enough about some of the same interests I have to engage in meaty discussion.

My experience of writing is the exact opposite: the world as it stands is an internet shouting match among lost souls, and I write precisely because while I have my own thoughts, I want to run away from all the shouting, and I refuse to dignify it by participating in it.
