I am trying to decide whether to complete the books I have
started and signed up
I could live with the lack of financial reward
IF I had a large enough audience eager to read them
I just need to feel that the emotional rewards for the time
and effort was a bit closer to what I get for my Art Work.

What musician would want to pack a van with gear
Travel 50 miles
Set up on stage
And then play to an empty room??
Then have to pack and travel all the way back.
.
When faced with the choice of 3 hours to make an A2 picture
for £50
Vs
Writting 50k of words over 50 hours for $50 to be only
followed by less than 10 people.
.
Which am I going to choose?
.
Which would you choose in my shoes?
.
I made in value over £300 pounds from my art and have my
first gallery opening (shared with another artist) soon.
.
Money made from Writting Books, Articles on Vocal, etc
etc,$20 over 3 months.
.
It is not as much about ego,
It is far more about time efficiency while trying to break
into the creative industries
There are only so many hours I can work in a day
And only so many years in a lifetime!
.
It is not so much about mere money (although that is nice)It
is more about how many people I can entertain.
.
Going back to the Musician Analogy
I'd rather play in a room of 100 eager people for £50
Then a room of only 10 people for £100 who are just popping
in until the rain outside stops.
.
I should feel committed to completing the contracts I have
signed out of a sense of duty and honour,
However, IF I do finish them. at all...
...then they will get finished eventually,
Over a long time...
Like a child picking at his cold dinner for hours.
.
The harsh bit isI am sure I am a much better writer (despite
Dyslexia) than I am an artist!
.
Please share with me what you think?
