When The crafter is pissed..
15 years ago
Ok so now that i have things replaced and have need to work.. my real job demands so much that i cant even sit down to replace bracers that where stolen.. or even finish my mates belt or her collar... im starting to get pissed that i cant do what i love at work cause people would bitch and complain.. and when i get home im to damn tired to work... weekends are filled just for getting shit down around the house and getting bills paid.. some days i am just starting to feel that working in the real world is just a waste of my time and talent if i ever want to get better... so im putting this up and out there.. just to see what others are going to say...
Should i A) stay in the job i have now and try to work in my craft in the little time i have.
Or B) leave the job and work on the craft solely and try to make ends that way.
im just venting and want to know what you all think on this.

if you make your hobby your job you will come to hate it.

This is not always true. My hobby is my job and i love it to pieces.

Well I've been living off my art for almost a month now- due to the lack of finding a job. And while I sincerely enjoy it, if I wasn't staying with friends nice enough to put me up until I can find something, I'd NEVER be able to pay the bills with what I'm making... I'm not saying that's always the case, but if quitting your "day job" would make it hard to survive... I'd stick with it.

it's how life is hun :-P noone ever said life was easy... though mine seems to be cause i'm spoiled rotten, but yeah, dont be an idiot and quit your job that pays and has bens, just so you can enjoy yourself, that would really be stupid n foolish, you'll always have time to do something you love later on in life, don't through away what you have now. especially in today's economy, I mean what if you quit n start forging n then noone wants to buy anything from you? n you get in some horrid accident and have no med coverage, you know how expensive that would be? don't complain about how your job sucks, it could be alot worse my dear. Be happy you have a job and can pay bills and have women around you. BE HAPPY GOD DAMN IT.
