In these final difficult months of getting my novel ready for agent submissions, thinking about my art's greater purpose is serving as an important motivator. In this episode I discuss why I think it's best to save contemplating your art's greater purpose for the later stages of creation, how to know if you even need a greater purpose for your art, and how to figure out what yours is.
This discussion is part of a larger one I've been having on this podcast recently around contemplating audience and balancing prioritizing our needs as artists to be authentic in our art with the needs of audiences to enjoy or benefit from our work.
