I can relate. Wrote a few proposals (technical rather than artistic but still creative) that were not successful this spring and had some doubts. While not everyone appreciates risk takers, many, especially those who work for a bureaucracy, are risk averse. But I feel creating people have to dwell on the frontiers for a good part of their time.
Still it is a great gift to make connections with people who are very different from ourselves. That’s where we can often make a difference in surprising ways.
