What do you do if you suffer and you're a shitty artist? Or it's all for naught? Or what?

What if you really fookin' suffer and you end up being the Diet Coke of art?

not everyone is Poe or Plath or Woolf.

But too many believe they are not, only because they've not suffered enough. They believe when they've suffered enough they'll have an epiphany, suddenly the path to success and recognition will be clear.

Better than admitting they have no talent, I guess.
