There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy.

I disagree. Change “any” for “some” and I agree. The way you said it, it just seems like a gamification of art creation. There is very good, if long, essay on that.
It doesn't matter to write long or short; it matters to write clearly.
The purpose of any art form is to promise a payoff and then deliver on that payoff.
If the artist doesn't deliver, they have failed. If they deliver so late that the public has left the building, they have failed. If they make no clear promise, they have failed even more.

I don't have any follower, and I don't "follow", anybody. I don't play that game at all. But I am used to great writing from great writers of the past, and this ain't it.
