Did the notion of the starving artist get removed from the lexicon? Why would she be surprised by this? You don’t become an artist to get rich, you become an artist to make art. Something like 20 billion humans throughout all history and there’s like what? Maybe a few thousand artists (all mediums including writing) that are remembered and even fewer that lived off their work and maybe a few dozen that were made rich while they were still alive.
