Duh. Magchunk - I think the financial part is what freaks out most creatives that thing they can't succeed as an artist. I'm convinced (convinced!) that it can happen for every single one of them, & it's just a matter of figuring out <em>how</em> it would work for you, specifically. One person can quit their job without savings & make the leap & make it work. Others need to hold on to their job & build up their business on the side until they feel more comfortable about it being financially successful. Others need something totally different. It's all about discovering what <em>you</em> need. Mike - It can, it can, it can, & Jess is such a great example of that. She's a hard worker though - it ain't all about coloring on the floor! Blue - Wow, that's an amazing perspective - the seeking out a "starving artist" career as a way to kick the fear of not trusting that the money will come. What a great prescription! Jess – YOU'RE awesome! Duh.

Thank you! I'm at that very point of learning to believe that the money will come, if I just keep making art and believing. Perhaps many people who do financially "risky" careers have fear around money? Perhaps having one of these careers is a way of learning how to trust that the money will come? Basically that we are seeking out a teaching situation? Thanks Jess and Michelle. Yay! Thank you!
