Oh! Yes. Thank you for writing about this. I also would like to reclaim these words. One of my pet peeves is how people - both artists and non-artists - devalue creative activity if it isn't in service of making money. Your post reminds me that I should reread some Jacque Barzun books. In one of them I think he discusses the value of amateur artistic pursuits.
