Q: Hello Bill Wurtz on Bill Wurtz Dot Com. Thank you very much for the music. I hope it brings you as much joy to make it as it does for me to listen to it (which is a lot)! As a creative, would you recommend pursing a career in a creative job (screenwriting) even though statistically I will likely not find serious work? I have stories I'm very proud of and I want to tell but sometimes I worry it's just a pipe dream, and I ought to wisen up. (Unfortunately I'm not related to anyone currently in the film industry). Thank you.
A: if you have stories, you should go ahead and tell them. this does not necessarily mean doing something as formal as what you described in your statistical analysis. and, in fact, if you tell your own stories, statistically, that's gonna work. you're gonna be able to do it. the statistical unlikelihood you described earlier had more to do with job-searching in a collaborative industry, and much less to do with telling stories, especially your own
