Journaling doesn't make you a writer, just like taking photos of your feet doesn't make you a photographer. If you really want legitimacy in an artistic field, try to rent a loft and get abused by a boyfriend, father or tollbooth operator. Go out looking for trouble instead of waiting for trouble to find you.
Art comes from heartbreak and hard knocks, so if you grew up with regular dental check-ups and clean underpants, you should probably look at a career in law or human resources instead.
