If that were at work here, we’d see the near-mode urges (I think that’s “have more readers” in the example) taking priority over the far-mode goal (write great fiction). We see the opposite. Urges may be a different category and need different treatment, but I don’t think they apply in this example, which is about a very analytic activity where everything is in far mode.
