>Should I try anyway, or am I just deluding myself?

1) Of course you should, if you think you'll enjoy it. Whether you're any good at it is very subjective and may even be immaterial.

2) These two items are not mutually exclusive, so "or" is not the right conjunction. :)

I'm not going to sit over here and be all boostery about the rewards and the improvement curve and internal satisfaction and all that, because on some level it'd be hypocritical - gods know I have many days, and moreso as I get older, where I sit looking at TextPad and thinking, What the fuck am I even doing? Seriously? - but I keep coming back because it's something I like to do. That's really the bottom line for me.
