About the whole not being successful thing, you are wrong. I think that success is granted by the dedication of your readers/audience. You have a following of very dedicated readers. Not very many authors can say that to the extent that you can. Unfortunately, I realize that this does not make you money, but at least your work is not futile. It's still getting across to someone.
I understand all this. I do. And I don't mean to belittle it. But, at 46, sick and not exactly well off financially, it doesn't feel much like success to me. It feels like failure, and I am forced to try another route.

I'm glad you don't find them dull.
