I write, because I have to. It's like breathing or eating. But then again, I write because I appreciate the feedback/interaction I get from my audience (a bit like teaching - same principle: interaction with students).
I am not sure about the others doing crowdfunded projects. But I suspect that my audience doesn't really understand the meaning of 'crowdfunding', hence the zero signal ratio. It got a little frustrating for me, because I felt as if I was sending out pings but getting nothing in return. I know what I wanted to do, but I am not sure if my audience knew that.
Perhaps, for me, this came during an intense period in my life: my pregnancy and eventually the birth of my daughter. I was brimming with creativity and I just wanted to share with people. However I ended up feeling as if I was dealing with a mute audience (or least, my f-list is).
