Looking Back and Looking Forward

Well, it's Wednesday again. My last day off this week. I've had a pretty good three days off this time, but it never seems that I get enough done. I feel like I have to cram all my art time in to one or two days instead of being an artist a few times a day, every day. I can't really get into a flow if I know I have to go to work later and it's usually always so late when I get in from work that I usually just shower and head to bed with my wife. I don't mind the way things are set up now, but I really wish I had my own studio in a separate building, somewhere I could get away from the distractions that I encounter here. I'd like for the job of artist to be the one that pays the bills so I don't have another job stressing me out and getting in the way of my creating. I've been there before, and I plan on getting there again. I've been hitting Facebook hard with my artwork lately. I'm getting a lot of good leads on art sales on there and getting a lot of people to see my art. It's a great way to get seen, but I've got so much going on internet-wise that I can't keep up with all of it. I've got a lot of my social media sites interconnected to save time, but sometimes I also get posts repeating at times. I really need to tear it all down and redo it now that I know more about what I need to do, but I doubt that would be possible. Instead I'll just keep building my internet presence and promoting my work as best as I can. My big break is just around the corner.
