I've started following Kathy Loomis' blog Art with a Needle. When she posted about finding your voice, I left this comment Three years at this now and I am finishing my second quilt. Any tips about getting more prolific while still hanging on to my other job? She gave thought to my question and responded in two following posts here and here.
Wasn't my intention to sidetrack her or to have her focus only on my struggles. Perhaps other artists have the same struggles. Perhaps she feels it's all relevant to finding your voice. Whatever the reasons, I am extremely grateful for her suggestions. Thank you for your generosity, Kathy!
Hi Elena! thanks for your kind words. I definitely think your struggles are shared by many others. But isn't that one of the unexpected joys of the internet -- we find that we're not as alone as we might have thought. I'm sure that's why we blog and read blogs and participate on email lists -- to connect with others.
