Mark has a fun post over on The Lateral Action Blog, “Lose Touch With Your Inner Whining Artist”:
Your Inner Whining Artist (IWA) is the part of you that tells you you’re a genius waiting to be discovered. If only the big bad world would sit up and recognise your talent, the IWA tells you, all your problems would be over. Audiences and critics would bow at your feet, agents would queue up to represent you, and all the people who’d ever rejected your work would be gorging themselves on humble pie. You just need to get your break, to be discovered. It can only be a matter of time …
It’s quite simple, really: People who spend a lot of time listening to their Inner Whining Artist get the shit beaten out of them by the world in general on a daily basis.
And as long as IWA plays a plays a significant role in your life, the daily beatings don’t stop. Ever.
Thank Christ for that.
