19. No one asked you
Artists aren't idle dreamers. They're workers and entrepreneurs. "Being an artist means being a craftsman, a self-promoter, and productive without a boss, a company, a client. You are making a product no one asked to buy, sourcing your own materials, developing your strategy, and above all, shipping what you make."Would you like to get some creative inspiration sent to you each week? Sign up to get my Friday essays. They’re thought provoking, funny, occasionally quite odd, and always free. Tell me where I should send yours by signing up at dannysessays.com.
