In an interview yesterday, I was asked what is my goal for writing. The first response (in my own head) was simply to write each and every day and get the pleasure that comes from that.
The glib and actual answer I gave the interviewer was that I want to be able to approach any publication and have them publish my work. Think along the lines of Stephen King on the back page of Entertainment Weekly or Po Bronson in this month's New York Magazine.
It's about the subtle shifting of power. You're not constantly pitching; instead you're just thinking about how to honor the requests of popular culture publications.
So at the end of the day, it's high school. We all just want to be popular.
