Sounds to me like you've internalized some myths about what a successful artist
is
i.e. they never have success during their lifetime, they never make any money
and die in poverty, they work in secret underground all their life without
gaining any acceptance from the establishment or from most of their peers, etc.
etc.
It IS difficlut to take credit and responsibilty for what you've brought into
the world,
maybe you are afraid of what your work means. Let me assure you though that
your work is brilliant and I like it a lot. If there's a hundred more where the
pieces
on the FFFOO website came from I'd be very interested to see them so for Pete's
sake finish them!
