The benefits and hindrances of self-righteousness in the developing writer would make for a fascinating follow-up.

I bet Jonathan Franzen’s agent would find it weird too.

Thank you. I went through the same thing in art school where “commercial art” where you could actually make a living was looked down on. And when I finally learned the business of art, it exhausted me. Now I give my paintings away. But at least it prepared me to tackle the business of writing.
