You know, there are a lot of things that I love about having a career in the arts. However, the endless need to hustle is not one of them. Just when you feel like you've got things under control a freelance gig evaporates, a new expense materializes, etc. And here you are just wanting to keep doing the thing that made you happy but now you've got to figure out yet another way to monetize it, Or Else. I loathe commodifying art, which is about sharing. And yet you must eat and pay bills.
