To become famous or at least highly revered in any creative field is a near impossible task. It involves much more than just being good at something.

I'm reminded of this every time I looks at art magazines or books and see the plethora of artists' names, most of whom most people will never have heard of. Or when people on social media comment that they've had a book published which I'm likely never to read.

It is clear even a tiny amount of success gives some recognition but not necessarily fame. Yet it is also clear that those who do attain some level of success are not always that good. And you also might notice how some of the lesser known creatives create much more interesting and engaging work that the more familiar names.

But just a look into any creative field and you see millions of recognised names who are no way near household famous. And I am reminded I'm not even recognised.

But none of that stops me writing books or being creative even though I know I'll never be one of them best seller types.
