I recognize myself in that I build instead of publish.

This is just fear of rejection, in productivity-clothing.

The only way to publish, or to get published, is to put yourself out there.

You risk rejection and ridicule. But life is not a spectator sport.

That's quite an interesting take. So do you make your living doing consulting, or do you create products?

Fun. I like that a lot :)

In addition to that, I love being a "creator" -- when I do programming and writing (no matter if I'm creating the product or the sales material) -- there's a substantial difference between "creating what I've thought up" and "creating what somebody else thought up". Having creative powers, I would rather make my own "dreams" come true, than somebody elses.

I guess what also drives me is "time freedom" -- that I can choose to work less, and spend more time with my kids, if I want to.

So for me, autonomy, freedom, creativity are at least some keywords.

Somebody outside of this forum told me the question was pointless: go do something that makes you money instead, he said.

So my answer was something like this:

On the contrary. The answer to this question will make me money. Thus far, I have made $100,000 online, and I am one of those people who "have to" do it, and I know what my motivation is.

Now I am wondering what yours is.

Why do I wonder?

Because I am making a product that targets you, obviously. So this is basic research

...

So there you have it, I guess that was a "full disclosure" that should have been included in the first question.

Cool, but how about the rest of the code, for the "game"?

I have drafted a product that might fit your customers perfectly, and compliment what you are doing. Maybe we should talk. It would be great if you gave some detail, like in a blog post.
