I just want you to know, it's ok to do other work while you pursue art.

As being an artist and writer, people would still think that it would be impossible anymore to rely on art to make a profit. Even so I remember a quote yesterday that I read from one of my acquaintances, T. K. Coleman. It was one from a man called Frank Chimero on his blog where he has an article called Back to the Cabe which is a very good look into artistic inspiration and actively pursuing it. But the most powerful message was what he wrote with employment being bringing independence.

About how many great artists had to do other careers as a choice for what is to come. T. S. Eliot worked in many universities while publishing his many poems and writing his plays. J.K. Rowling had worked many jobs while finding time to write Harry Potter and the Philosophers' Stone. Dame Agatha Christie worked as a nurse during WWI while her sister made a bet to write a story which became The Mysterious Affair at Styles which I read after I read my first Poirot mystery, Murder on the Orient Express. But also, these careers found them with the inspiration to write their stories as well with Christie having a knowledge of poisons and medicine and many of her victimless are often poisoned. J. K. Rowling had went through a similar underdog story with finding oneself and becoming stronger. T. S. Eliot had dealt with many anxieties in the First World War and later converted to Catholicism to find peace and used many poems and plays as both symbols and allegories for Christian apolagetics.

But the overall message I found was in part that those who know what they want should work on it and also take a look, for the better, at what your doing. It actually will help with your direction of the art you want to make. I have a few friends and family members who want to make their own projects and even my Boo (boyfriend) wants to make films. But we can't expect them to be fully made successes overnight but we all have a chance to organize and create for ourselves and others too. Even though I'm still and Uber driver, just seeing parts of LA and California itself, inspires me to come up with a canvas of both small and large ideas and stories to create.

Later Darlings!
