Making a Living as an Artist and Staying Inspired
To make a living as an artist, it's not always about going bigger and better with success. Contentment and happiness can come from reducing the size and focusing on what truly matters. Being a full-time creator requires an entrepreneurial mindset, hustle, and finding ways to connect with your thousand true fans. While it may be challenging to make a full-time living as a fiction author in today's world, dedication, putting in the reps, and finding unconventional ways to make things work can lead to success. Creating enough content and manufacturing your own success, even from a non-zero number, can help gain critical mass and support a full-time career as an artist.
