I have to agree with one of the commenters over there, "phil." I feel like this makes those of us involved involved look silly. Good luck to you, I really mean that. All the best. But, I think the idea that we have to as phil said, "play the starving artist" thing is just too much, I think. Ramen noodles is one thing, but leaving out of your car in Palo Alto and renting a workspace. We all here respect PG, but all your links for your rationale are links just to his essays. It just seems a little like naive romanticism. Fine, whatever, but I don't want to see this trend continue or this expectation that many of the most skilled people in the World need to make their way to success by living as vagrants. All the best, though. Really.
