Today’s public radio show was fun. I got to be on with two advice columnist: Dan Savage, who writes Savage Love, and Emily Yoffe, who writes Dear Prudence. I could get used to this radio thing. The show is archived here.
Here’s a question that sums up how I’m feeling about the Wheel today, as I prepare to submit ‘query letters’ to literary agents. I feel like I need an agent agent!
Should I really be basing my life on something that might not end up working out? Does money always ruin art? |
There’s always a way to manage risk. Find a way to measure your progress, for example how happy & fulfilled you are from 1-10 or how many customers or galleries you line up. Make a plan for success & a backup contingency if your measurements don’t proceed towards success. Meet & learn from people in your industry about your approach. Money does not ruin art. Balance creative purity & survival (not luxury). <3 ——– Want daily inspiration? Subscribe! And try my other blog, Weird Boston Events. |
