Every artist has a secret (and sometimes not-so-secret) desire to get on the list. The top 25, the best author, the VIP list. What does getting on the list say about you?
It says that you’re good at getting on the list.
Not that your talented with your craft, not that your making a dent in the universe, not that you’ve achieved the goal that you set out to achieve (unless, of course, your only goal was to get on the list.)
Lists are fickle things.
