Fun

“I could tell you that I’ve been tryin’ to uncover the abyss beneath my illusory connection with the world. I could tell you that it’s all written in the stars. I could tell you that I’m a reverse paranoiac. I am quite certain that the world is conspirin’ to make me happy. All three of which are true but it’s really simpler than that. I like to have fun, man. Fun is the fuckin’ gun, man.” Moondog in the film The Beach Bum

The reader or audience member should feel like you had a blast, a great f’ing time making your art. It can be hard, but it better be fun. Otherwise what’s the point?
