This is my yearly episode on trying to earn a living as a working creative, where I talk about all the behind-the-scenes stuff. These days a lot of people are giving creative entrepreneurship a try, and I think it's important for those of us who've been at it for a while to talk about the real experience of trying to earn a living off our creative work.  Long story short, it's not easy, but over the past year I've come to a deeper understanding of what I want and what I'm willing to commit and sacrifice on my creative journey.
