The dilemmas of a literary career
This resonates so much, especially the bits around passion and the constant push and pull between our creative exploits and our other (usually contractual and financial) obligations. Great piece!
“the more I lived my life by the principles of creativity, insight, and defiance of cliché the more of an outsider I would become”
I totally agree, and something I’ve long thought about.
Also, 'A Short History of Myth' by Armstrong is only 70-odd pages. You can read it in one sitting.
Strongly recommended
I believe I had to read it for a course I took.
Great headline and piece.
