Money

I've been freaking out about money. Periodically I do this. I think about my school loans and wonder if I should drop out and pay them off. I have this basic idea that I always come back about how artists don't actually make money. I know this doesn't have to be true. I want to start having babies soon too, which in addition to my massive school debt makes me really wary. I don't want to be required to work outside of the home, and who knows how much the hub's going to make when he graduates.

I know I actually can make money as an artist. I've sold peices and I have commissions, right now, that I just have to stop prcrastinating and do. So if I just make up my mind to make money, and remeber that, I'll be fine. It's the remembering part that's hard. There's a really cool thing called the Art Deadlines List, which I just subscribed to, so we'll see how that goes.

I haven't painted or otherwise arted (unless you count cooking and winemaking) all summer so far. I think that stops today. My grandma wants me to paint her something, and I have that commision. And I really want to paint a big peacock.

So I think I shall.
