Great wired article on the fall of the guy who created duke nukem

This reminds me of the documentary stone reader (not sure if I've mentioned on here before)--about writers who turn out one great novel and can't duplicate that success (focuses on forgotten writer Dow Mossman... really interesting).

Also this TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert touches on the same subject--how our culture has moved to put too much pressure on individuals to be creative/inspired/productive rather than thinking of creativity as partially a random process.
