Something I should have mentioned with yesterdays post is that after meeting with hundreds of artists over the years it’s very plain to see that not everyone wants to move on from being the anxiety ridden artist.
There are a lot of artists (good successful ones too) who would rather dream big, act small and fuel their anxiety with the space in between.
Why? you might ask. Simply put…
It’s fun. Where there’s anxiety there’s something riveting to talk about right now. And in talking about it you get the badge of talking about ‘real stuff’ so there’s lots of consoling and pats on the back.
So what type of artist do truly you seek to become?
Each element you are anxious about has importance. But don’t stop there.
The anxiety clouds the identity of what makes it important.
