Reblogged from Kristen Lamb's Blog:
Want to know the secret to success? Quitting. Yes, you heard me correctly. And, if you're a creative professional, it is in your interest to learn to get really good at quitting. Maybe you've felt like a loser or a failure, that your dream to make a living with your art was a fool's errand.
Maybe, if you are anything like me, just maybe you had friends and family and people around you telling you that you were a dreamer, that you needed to get your head out of the clouds and to let go of your "magic beans" and learn to be something practical that made a good paycheck and came with dental benefits.
This is my first attempt at 'reblogging' via Wordpress, so I hope it works! This post is another classic from Kristen Lamb. It's all about quitting: the novel that isn't working, the job that is too demanding, the extra-curricular interests that eat up focus and time. I know I'm not too good at any of this and I pledge to be better!
