When you are a 'creative' who has a regular source of income - a job, a longterm contracted freelance position, a partner with a stable career - and possibly with a house with a low mortgage (or no mortgage??!), I think it's distasteful to make disparaging remarks about how other people, often without those stable sources of income, choose to 'run their creative business'. Commenting negatively on how they charge 'too much' for their services is ignorant.
This is very interesting, Gia. I’ve no times for the Willoughbys etc and don’t watch. Very interesting that your neighbour was Robert Stephenson. I loved him in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
Well said. I've been struggling a bit lately with the 'be content' bit, though I try. I feel like I've worked my arse off for not very much and it's difficult not to feel a bit of professional jealousy sometimes. Externally I might look successful, but I really don't feel successful at all. But that's all on me. I made my bed and I've got to lie in it, even when it feels lumpy.
(Also, I think I have a good idea what prompted this. ;) )
