We want the truth

People wonder why some books make it big and others don't.  Same with movies and all artistic endeavors really.  Is art supposed to be a best seller?  Imo, no historically usually art is not a best seller in its own era, but it can be.  How lovely for the creator of the art when he or she hits the pulse of a country, or nails what the world needs at the same time as the piece is created.  Life is so much more comfortable when the artist is not starving...but also sometimes comfort takes the edge off and creativity is lost.  It's a trade off.

I want to tell the truth.  I dislike working at something I don't believe in to keep afloat, especially if I'm only doing it to make someone else rich and the work is not enhancing my life... my art is really my life.  I want to tell the truth.  I have a story of the supernatural and how it ties into everyday life so very very much but we've forgotten over centuries of neglect.  I have a story to tell, and when I get feedback from this story it could evolve into a society of people who search for the truth through advanced knowledge of the past.  There is so much to share when we all get together.  Let's make it happen, please!
