IMHO proper writers, artists etc, create out of some painful obsessive need, rather than the opposite - fame and acceptance.
Many are tortured souls who end up blowing their heads off with a shotgun or cutting off their ears.
I'm not sure if you have me grouped in the former or the latter.
To clarify, I'm in the former....nutty as a fruitcake, tortured soul, only in need of my acceptance when it comes to this writing lark, and as obsessive as they come.
No shotgun. Unlikely to go for the ears, but you never know.

I just gotta write. I gotta.
