Charles Bukowski said something similar…
> /…/ no baby, if you’re going to create you’re going to create whether you work 16 hours a day in a coal mine or you’re going to create in a small room with 3 children while you’re on welfare, you’re going to create with part of your mind and your body blown away, you’re going to create blind crippled demented, you’re going to create with a cat crawling up your back while the whole city trembles in earthquake, bombardment, flood and fire. baby, air and light and time and space have nothing to do with it and don’t create anything except maybe a longer life to find new excuses for.
I said last year, "if I'd known I was going to be homeless for this long, I would have just kept working on my game the whole time."
It seemed logical, at the time, to postpone such frivolous affairs until life was more orderly. But it sure didn't help speed things along.
On another note, I have also heard it said that one must suffer for one's art, but I haven't found much correlation personally between suffering and art... except perhaps to the degree that JavaScript is involved!
