I wish I'd said this. Much better than my rambling talentless post. |
Your post was neither rambling nor talentless. And you're right: writing a book and hitting that small white ball unerringly into the hole are both special talents.
The question is what either is worth in monetary terms, and as mentioned, that's determined by others.
And talent isn't the only factor. Sheer luck plays a part. I think we can all make a list of books we've read that sank unnoticed after release, and were arguably brilliant, but just not lucky enough to be discovered by the market that would appreciate them.
If Frankowski has enough fans willing to pay the prices he chooses to charge for his work to let him earn a living, good for him. I just don't happen to be one of them.
