For centuries before the internet became available to the average person, there was a clear distinction between producing creative work, and publishing or promoting it. Writers, painters, musicians, directors, sculptors, and choreographers would spend months or years producing a new body of work in the privacy of their studio. Only when the work was ready to be shared with the audience, the creator (or their publicist) would make arrangements to announce the new project in the media, and give radio, TV, and magazine interviews. There was a time to dive deep into their creative process, and there was a time for attention and conversation.
Since creatives started using websites, email newsletters, and social media to keep their fans up to date, these two processes have blended together and it’s difficult to tell them apart. There is an expectation that we need to keep people engaged in between big releases, while creating said big releases at the same time.
