Sometimes I get the sense some of my long-time readers would like me to have a master plan culminating in some sort of magnum opus piece of writing, and I feel bad I don’t have one What’s the opposite of a magnum opus? Some sort of last underwhelming deathbed tweet?

A magnum opus is simply your greatest work (per Wikipedia), so the opposite is likely your worst tweet. We won't know what your magnum opus was until you "exit the market" as it were.

Well swan song magnum opus then. Last as best. Some think I’m already a hasbeen and it’s been downhill since gervais principle. If that’s my magnum opus, I suck.

Ribbonfarm? What, you seriously want to signal that you are a another card building a marketing funnel? ) Of course you don't. (And I have marketing dna, but prefer not to engage with my own.)

Sometimes * some readers = nothing to bother much about No master plan - some (many) readers have higher expectations of new unknown ideas from you You feeling bad = that's good. Very good. Isn't that the main creativity trigger and fuel for your outpourings

Hell no. If that were the main creativity trigger I wouldn’t write. My triggers basically don’t involve readers at all, except as a source for good reading references.
