Dear David, hello!!! Haha. They made me subscribe to leave a message. Though perhaps that's a good thing as I hear Substack is 'where it's at' and the other realms of social media have become perilous shit swamps. Anyhow, I haven't seen you in person to tell you how much I enjoy your newsletters. So here I am saying: thank you for sharing your wisdom, your vulnerability, your struggles and your "take" on the Arts scene and creativity. I enjoy your writing immensely and send much love and respect your way. Here's to your abundant competence, continued success and (hey, why not?!) FAME xox
Another brilliant and thought-provoking piece, Dave. And as a teacher of budding artists, many of whom think that those three words are in fact all the same thing, I shall be 'forcing' them to read this article and spending time dissecting what they each now understand (and really, it doesn't matter what field one works in, this same discussion could be had in any industry, I reckon). PLEASE keep writing! You are FAR MORE than simply 'competent' and most certainly successful! Who cares about fame...
