It struck me today that everyone who practices multiple disciplines (usually motherhood, work and some kind of hobby) talks about balance. I don’t work the way they say I’m supposed to. You’re supposed to focus on one thing for a really long time and make it really successful before moving on to something else. But is it really wrong to work on projects in short bursts and then leave it for a while?
Maybe they’re right but if they are and that’s the only way to be successful then I’m just never going to be. The thing about balance for me is that the first ingredient seems to be that you have to have a definition of what success looks like. I don’t really. I mean one part of it is that I want a lot of people to see my art and read what I write but the other part is that I want a lot of people to buy my designs but I’ve never wanted one more than the other.
The point of all this is that I feel really guilty because of the way I work because of the way the rest of the world says I should work. That’s all.
