On a personal note:
You have perfectly described the intense agony of authorship. Why not
many people have the guts or the insanity (whichever way you want to look at

On the ( thankfully very few) days when I get up, and my paintings are
nothing more than oily molecules smeared on canvas, then life seems not worth
living...
