What a crock.<br /><br />If you have a hobby that you love and it becomes a business; you work four times as hard as normal cubicle dwellers.<br /><br />You become very introspective, because everything has to be perfect. You betray yourself every time something slips by.<br /><br />I am self employed with something that was once a hobby, I know; it can burn you out quickly.<br /><br />My attempts at balance are to go in new directions, switch the genre you read, watch TV crap you never have before, anything to shake the tree and make some fruit land at my feet.<br /><br />I hope you can get back on your creative feet and find some fresh air to fill your lungs with. Right now I have started to read Carol Higgins Clark's stuff. It is simple, brainless, with a dry sense of humor; maybe it is doing me well, mentally. Physically, I feel like I am falling apart, it is all one step forward and two steps back, but I can't let myself fall too far, it is like doing something less than my best in my job; the one that was more fun as a hobby.Craignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-61393485827303905602024-03-05T08:52:42.127-05:002024-03-05T08:52:42.127-05:00Thank you, Natalie!
