Until I met my wife I never felt like I was being supported by anyone as far as writing goes. My father pressed for more practical skills, like typing. Everyone I knew told me that I couldn't make a living at it (which I don't) and that rare are those luminaries that do.
This is probably true. I don't know of many authors that don't supplement their income with writing.
But couldn't I be one of the few? Am I not smart enough? Gifted in the appropriate skills? Why must writers be smacked down before they get on their feet?
Tomorrow's writing assignment is to characterize someone. Really get into their noggins. 3 paragraphs or less.

Oooh, you're harsh; 3 paragraphs? Hmmph.
As for your questions, I long ago decided that the difference between the people who succeed and those who don't (and not just at writing) is that the successful ones get up off their butts and try. And of course you're talented enough-- if Nyx Smith can do it, anyone can. ;-)
