Reminded me something Thomas McGuane said about artists of his generation and the ones that have lived to see old age, (roughly phrased) Careers in the arts have a great capacity for tragedy because it’s an all or nothing commitment. The survivors know how to balance it… the key is knowing when to start tapping the brakes a bit.
Glad to see your newsletter today, even if it was tapped out on a laptop.
Loved your line about being an artist.
