1st Rule of the starving artist: sooner or later your partner is going to leave you. Get over it.
Welcome to the world of a starving artist. So, dear reader, tell me, have you made that decision to abandon all reason, sense and three square meals a day in order to pursue your career as a struggling writer? Well, I have to tell you something:
What a fool you are!
This is my cautionary warning to you. For as long as I can remember I've been writing. I'm not that good, as you can plainly see, but on the other hand I'm far from being the worst. At least in my humble opinion! That dreadful little poem I posted earlier pretty much sums up my induction into the starving artist lifestyle. I wrote it about three months ago, shortly after I quit my job. Not pleased by the prospect of smoking spittly roll ups made from the discarded contents of other people's ashtrays and being fed alongside the tramps in a grotty soup kitchen my girlfriend ran away. If you want to be a starving artist please remember to ask your partner first.
