i bet someone told joyce something like that

Difference is he had a cute younger wife to sodomize at his leisure and a steady job working alongside his loyal brother in the warm climes of Italy. Meanwhile I'm a NEET living in his damp second-hand Volvo shivering in the showers of a local swimming pool each morning before spending my day in the library trying to write and read and stave off the depression that will undoubtedly claim my life by the end of this year.

Except he had a daily job and had to deal with children. You're literally being fed by your mother with access to all the world's knowledge on the internet and 24/7 free time.

Haruki Murakami wrote Hear The Wind Sing, submitted his only physical copy and was called and told his work was being considered 9 months after he'd sent it in. Gunzo went on to publish him and now he's a dreamy memelord.

PURE LUCK.
