No. I don't agree at all. What makes someone an artist? Or a writer? Is it being published or having a painting bought? Is it talent? How do you judge talent? Who gets to decide.
If I say I'm a writer, I'm a writer. I may not be a great writer. I may not be a published writer. But if I'm writing prose, poetry, songs, plays, speeches, letters or diaries (as examples) then I'm a writer. Even if no one else ever sees my work.
Calling such a person a fool is demeaning, inappropriate and shows a lack of understanding of the word. I should know. I'm a writer.

I like that quote; it's similar to-
“He who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client”
“To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.”
“A fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool.”
“Never argue with a fool. Someone watching may not be able to tell the difference.”
“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt.”
“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt.”
*****How about if one is a self-proclaimed fool? ~MMK
“Never argue with a fool. Someone watching may not be able to tell the difference.”

f0r sure,, its kinda cute... i mean.. it does make sense.. you are sure creative... atleast creative enough to think up words such as self-proclaimed. it could be rephrased though.. it could be like : "better to be nothing than to be a self-proclaimed fool"

Yes, it is a good one, and I've never heard of it. Keep composing! There will always be room for improvement.

It lacks substance. I personally prefer "self-perception is deception".
