Perhaps, later in his life, once his creative flame has begun to dim some, and the call of his muse becomes less seductive, he can become less selfish with his energies

Do you really think that the creative drive pales with age? I rather hope it doesn't. I've been writing all my life, a craftsman with ill-defined illusions about becoming an artist someday. It certainly won't be anytime soon: it will be about 15 years before the assorted people who depend - almost exclusively - on my nurturing can be left to their own devices. In the meantime I write for money, and trust that the process of nurturing will provide a level of understanding that will ultimately improve the work that emerges 15 years from now, assuming that it does. By that time I may prefer to kick back on a beach somewhere and spend my time looking at fish and coral.

BTW, I don't even know how to tie a tie, and am not eager to learn. Thank God for cyberspace; nobody gives a damn how you dress.
