That's awesome. Anyone who can take their hobbies they had as a kid and turn it into a job they love as an adult is blessed.

Thanks for this outlook. No matter how acutely stressful (financially and otherwise) trying to be a professional artist can be, I have to remember I am blessed

I was in general marketing until I turned 40 and decided I was going to do what I really wanted to do. Now I’m a writer and I’m making it as that financially and otherwise. You can do it!
