There's a lot of bad drawings and compsitions, and lots of heart ache in the process, I never understand artist who say that making art is fun. Don't they find it painful?<br />

But in my daydreams, somehow I miraculously develope that same whimsical joy that other artists seem to have in spade. All the fun, none of the sorrow.

<p>I agree with both your theory and with Anette's! I also think it has to do with instant emotional gratification (at least for me).</p>
<p>For instance: one of my idealized self's in my daydream is a famous rock musician (lol) and was just asked to write the soundtrack for a cult movie that came out a few years ago. It's so easy to dream about all these opportunities falling into my lap. In reality I don't have that many connections, and composing music and writing lyrics is a painful…</p>
