What is the aim or goal of your writing: Serious persistence. Basically, I've always believed that poets and writers need to be plugged in and actively engaged in the community around them, wherever that may be at any time. This is where their art comes from and this is where they need to participate in society. We aren't cut off from the world unless we want to be.
