I feel like I have the same issue sort of. I think when I write on my posts it detracts from the actual piece and I also like for my art to speak for itself, but people seem to like it...the words. I guess it's more engaging. They also seem to like when you show the process of coming up with each piece. Which I also don't like because I have to constantly stop to document what I'm doing and that interrupts my flow. It just isn't conducive for my output so I don't do it that often (in fact I think I've only done it once), but I'm trying to do both of these things more often in the future...let them eat cake...gotta give the people what they want...or something.
