100% this. Libraries are essential community assets. (And in the UK, authors get a small royalty from the PLR every time someone borrows one of their books).

The Power (1968) open.substack.com/pub/agentofc... The team of producer George Pal and director Byron Haskin present one of the strangest films of a strange decade.

most authors who have been in this business long enough have had several big breaks and they were all luck and they don't always stick and then you hopefully hone your talent while you wait for your next lucky break. lol that is the midlist life!

Oh, I’m definitely talented! But you can wallpaper a battleship with talented writers who never got their big break.

Conversely "talent" will get you only so far. One, talent is spread more widely than people who fancy themselves geniuses might presume. Two, no matter how talented you are, you're probably neither a Prince nor a Picasso, and someone else pretty talented who's not a dick can do nearly all you do.

Rest in Peace to the Legendary Sonny Rollins open.substack.com/pub/allthing... We are now without his songs. There will never be another Sonny Rollins.
