Thank you so much for this brave and brazen, brutally honest staking your claim post on how important it is to “fight for your craft.” It is one of the best pieces of writing out there on any subject, and one so important. Please blast this all over the Web, as both you and the crucial sentiment here need to be heard!
Please let me know what I can do to support you – I am so proud to know you.
Love,

It’s such a relief to hear about folks who move away from L.A. to get their priorities in place and, hopefully, their ducks in a row. Glad to read about your writing process. I absolutely need/should/must take your lead and get my creative schedule mapped out and solidified. There are some projects that I’ve been able to cross of my list (I’m a list guy) which has certainly been gratifying. But my problem is becoming complacent after a task is completed. No! I need to keep the wheels turning and power on with more projects to cross more off my list.
And since I’m freelancing (video editing, graphics) it doesn’t help that business is a tad slow these days. You’d think that would be a blessing. Not! I’m always (just about) more productive when I have LESS time on my hands, not MORE. Anyone else suffer from this syndrome? I think it’s called L.A.S. or Lazy Ass Syndrome. Well, I need treatment in the worst way.
Tomorrow is a new day. What will I do with it? Stay tuned…

Trust me. IT DOESN’T HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM. You simply end up MULTIPLYING THEM! 😉
