Hi Stephen. The trouble is, if a poet is making $10k a month, maybe they won't want to write poetry any more! By the way, I knew a guy who was a cook, and he was an excellent poet and storyteller. I guess my point is, there are many ways to make a living and still do your art.

Truth: "If you're good at failing there's a strong chance you'll eventually succeed."

I like learning about all the people who became, let's say, financially independent after facing repeated failure, like being fired from their job, having their project be rejected, facing complete catastrophe etc. The theme that gets repeated is that success follows failure, as long as you keep going.

ā€œSuccess is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.ā€ — Winston S. Churchill
