Unless my link is the exception.

It's great and now I've just read about your superhero and Robert Stroud. Very cool little essay. For me writing is the extreme of these "sports," the one that has forced me to learn about myself, made me suffer, brought me exhilerant joy. Painting is gentler. Perhaps because it's visual, it feels more instinctive to me. Or perhaps because I've come to it second after years of struggling on the writing training field "to trust myself." It's the same process, no matter how you practice it. I like your piece of cake, Alex. It’s great and now I’ve just read about your superhero and Robert Stroud. Very cool little essay.
