what if we define brainlet as 'no interest in philosophy or ideas or any of the higher brow aspects of literature'
basically a pure literature writer who is just underdeveloped in anything else that would actually get him remembered as an intelligent

any brainlet can make good art if they practice and do revisions. It's not like you have to be a genius to make a masterpiece. Every amazing book was at one point a shitty first draft.

nah
i believe artists are born not made
some people are just better
im just destined to be subhuman. i wasnt born with the instinctual drive that other artists were. im just a loser. ill never paint a nice picture. ill never write a beautiful poem. ill never write a novel. ill never compose a song. there's just nothing i can do. every art is an insurmountable obstacle to someone like me. but there's nothing on this world that i can do. everything is torture and pain.
