Same. You have to make them come to you. Coax them. When you genuinely don’t care about an audience, then the audience arrives.

The only form of promotion that works is outstanding work produced consistently. I have tried to dodge and run away from this fact for a long time. All there is is the path to mastery. The rest takes care of itself.
