QUIZ: Are you an A-LISTER?

If you answer “yes” to most of the following questions, you are an A-Lister!

1. Do you fantasize about any of the following: being in the spotlight, a standing ovation and shouts of “bravo” or “brava,” amazing reviews, fangirls or boys, a million social media followers overnight, your own reality TV show, and/or boatloads of money?

2. Are you hoping to prove someone wrong that told you weren’t all that talented or you’d never make it as an artist or you can’t make money from art?

3. Do you long to create or perform something that will make people laugh out loud, sob uncontrollably, or feel forever changed?

4. Do you hope people will be talking about you and your work decades or even centuries from now?

5. Do you believe you have a God-given gift, and you ought to share it with the world?

6. Do you secretly like “playing God” by giving life to and controlling your creative work, or the lives of your fictional characters?

7. Are you most alive when you’re creating something or performing for people—and you simply can’t live without that “high”?

8. Do you have competitors or rivals (real or imagined) that you want to show you’re better than?

9. Do you want to turn yourself or your life into a self-portrait, memoir, or other form of art?

10. When you’re creating something, do you love the idea of the finished product even more than the joy you get from the creative process?
