I'm stymied by the obvious fact that I'm no Moore, or Shelley, or Byron. I suppose I'm still more or less happy with some of my more recent stuff, but it's a presonal kind of heppiness, the kind of happiness that comes from knowing that you've written something that is powerful for you (but not necessarily empirically worthwhile).

That and I tend to think of it as "not lucrative" as in something that I do when I can find the time and hide away on town cocktail napkins or random sheets of 0.99$ notepads while I'm walking down the street looking in random shop windows.

It's the same for my weird organic abstract art/doodle things. It's like I think of a lot of it as stuff that's kind of so intrinsically me that I can't imagine other people wanting to look at/listen to/read
