Ephemeral Role-playing

jackOne of the strange things about GMing is that it's a naturally ephemeral hobby. If you get really good at writing, you might write stories people keep reading years later. If you get really good at playing a musical instrument, you might play to larger audiences or at higher-profile occasions.
Whereas, if you get really good at GM'ing, you'll still only ever really do it with four other people, and many of the ideas you have will get recycled into an "ideas" folder because they didn't come in play.
Some people write modules or stream games, but that's not for everyone.
That's not bad, I just personally find it really hard to enjoy moments for themselves without wanting to save them forever.
