Three Hour Work Day Challenge: Day 6

Happy new year and welcome to the new twenties! As tradition dictates, I stayed up until midnight, had alcohol, and had a nice, quiet party at home.

All the while, you’re getting more and more distressed without even having realized it. It doesn’t really matter what itContinue reading “Don’t Let A Bad Week Ruin Your Weekend”

7 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid to Become an Artist

I’m writing this more for myself. It seems like the more I pursue my art career, the more opportunities open up, and the more daunting it becomes. As I’ve said in the past, I’m personally struggling with a very odd Fear of Success (versus the fear of failure.
