Finding Our Best Creative Work

and hopping off the struggle bus before it crashes

This week’s newsletter is specially formulated just for Drawing a Blank paid subscribers. I’d be delighted to have you join this community of like minded creative people! Your support means the world to me.

One of the most awful feelings an artist can have is the nagging feeling that you’re not on the right path.

This art-life is a slog and can be dripping with wrong turns and self-doubt. I know because I’ve survived it (so far).

“Didn’t I already see that door of missed opportunity?” “I swear I’ve seen that cactus of despair before?” “The bus driver of this struggle bus is surely drunk with no map.”

I have no way of knowing this for sure, but I’d bet that this feeling of being adrift is responsible for many careers in creating ending way too soon.
