There is no confession. It's hard to accept but it is what it is. Everyone hearing your advice are funnelling it through multiple perspectives that it becomes impersonal when it reaches them.
My advice, pick something (a hobby where you can witness your own improvement) and spend a lot of time in it. It doesn't matter how ridiculously hard it is to master (e.g. piano)
Just do it, audiences will come (even if it's to learn how to mimic you)

Good luck with that studio in a town of 40,000. You'd probably have better luck with that at college or in a big cultural center like NYC.

plato's complete works
shakespeare's complete works

I don't really buy books unless there's a series I like and want to own all of them or it's a timeless classic I'd come back to.
Complete works are good to own because you can reread a work after a while with a relatively fresh memory since it's not one overhanging plot you remember if you reread fiction etc.

O. Henry's short stories. They're pretty light, tend to have sweet and/or funny endings. Good blend of male and female characters, a touch of artistry without being too high-brow. He was the top of the heap in his day.
