I think a lot of us (talented and skilled writers) have their problems and are wondering why we don’t have their success. Thanks for your comment, Arushi–I appreciate it.
I dont’ know . . . anyone who thinks Hemingway and Fitzgerald’s problems are a fair trade for their genius never picked up a biography of either gentleman. I’d rather have less genius (which doesn’t appear to be a problem) and more capacity and/or time to enjoy my (smaller) successes . . ..
Less genius and more time to enjoy smaller success… given how young Fitzgerald was when he died and the WAY that Hemingway died, you have a valid point. “which doesn’t appear to be a problem” Thanks, Sarah – you know I appreciate your comment!
I have all their problems. Why don’t I have their success?
