In reply to Marty.

Especially since retirement often means saying ‘hello’ all day long to the same person (spouse – right?) at the home ‘office’.
Delicate balance, for sure.

Thanks for stopping by, Jennie!
To be clear, I just chose those quotes reflective of my own thoughts…JMichaelDolan did the actual comparison.

Jerry Seinfeld once said that he desperately needed to avoid working in an office because I loathed the idea of having to say “hello” all day long to the same people. 🙂 Creative people need solitude to express themselves; I’m married to one, and I have to remember that constantly!

Hear hear, Laura! I love how you compare an artist and an entrepreneur.

This is so true, “sometimes our best-laid plans work out, far beyond our expectations. Other times they fall apart and fade away.” I wouldn’t last long if I depended on my writing income to survive. I need my 9 to 5 job and thank God for it. Great post, Laura!

In reply to Laura.

I, too, don’t buy into the myth that the only way to ‘prove’ one’s artistic professionalism is to be 100% dependent upon revenue generated by it…
And, yes, creative artistry is not limited to the areas society lists as being ‘artistic’.

i like your take on the creative spirit. We who are possessed of it certainly do have a way of turning rubble into something. Does that make us rubble rousers?
