This quote about sums it up for me. Making some sense over all the chaos with a couple of 'social fiction' stories.

American novelist John Cheever (born May 27, 1912) was not a good student in high school. His grades were extremely poor, but he channeled the negative experience into writing. The result, a short story called Expelled, was published when Cheever was 18.
