Any true artist is going to want to dedicate himself to his art full time. He can't do that unless he can make a living at it. If Steven King couldn't have made a living writing books, with a wife and child to support , he'd had gone into the laundromat management business (or something else) and that would most likely have been that. |
Self-proclaiming that one is an artist does not make one an artist.
Dedication and effort aren't enough. What's needed, first, is talent.
