I think that there’s some kind of mindset in a lot of creative communities (authors, artists, musicians) that your work needs to be groundbreaking and thought-provoking for it to matter. That in order for it to be considered worthy of its medium, it must have a greater purpose.
And if you ask me, its bullshit.
God, it puts so much stress on a creator to have to be important to someone else. I have seen so many people give up because their work isn’t making a statement, that it’s ‘fluff but no substance.’ As though there’s only room for so many people in a community of creators that only people with a point can get in.
If it made someone laugh, it’s important.
If it made someone smile, it’s important.
If someone looks back on it fondly, even for a moment, it’s important.
If you enjoyed making it, even if you never shared it, it’s important.
Sing songs about your cat, draw pictures of lizards eating popsicles, and write a series of novels about time-traveling alpaca.
The world is already full of super-important stuff. Write fluff.

This guest comic was created by the incredible Malacandrax (aka Lyndsay McSeveney)!
Mal is the writer and artist of CHARITY CASE, a beautiful comic about Julien, a sheltered young musician who – finding himself without financial support – has to try and navigate a life he’s woefully unprepared for. Its about found families, polyamorous romance, and music! You can read it here: tapas.io/series/Charity-Case
I had the chance to make a guest comic for the wonderful Heartstopper comic! It has one of the most realistic portrayals of teen romance I’ve ever read, and never fails to make me smile (and cry-), check it out!!!
