You are always so very genuine with your feelings, and I find often that you are thinking similar to how I am thinking, even if I don't write it all down. Like you, I am feeling the burden of not having enough time, although in my case, other than housework, relationships, going out and enjoying life, hehe, it is mainly about art. How am I to improve my portfolio when I don't even have time to make dinner? Will it always be like this? What direction do I want to go in my art? I need a "niche" market if I want to be successful, and I am feeling pressure from watching everyone else becoming successful in their practice, and I am panicking. Hence the reading other people's art blogs, when really I should just be working, or painting, or both. Although I wouldn't consider painting to be work. It's nice to know I'm not the only one feeling completely swamped. Don't feel guilty for writing in your journal, or writing haikus, or taking photographs....we all need our vices in life to make things enjoyable. Otherwise what is the point? Write some more when you can. Cheerio Josee Hello Crystal,
