    I very much agree with Terri's letter. Any field of endeavor is
    tough unless you just don't care. If the focus is on the self then
    you won't get anywhere anyway. If you just get discouraged sometimes
    and find the bills are hard to pay, well welcome to the human race.
    Self pity is a trap. 

    To find a voice I work and work and work. To pay the bills I pay
    attention to the business and when all this fails , and it does,
    then I work more and pay more attention to the business and pray like
    mad that what I am doing is enjoyed by somebody and valued enough for
    them to buy it. What else is there to do? I have done market
    research, studied business, studied my art and prayed. Now I could
    switch jobs but that comes with it's own set of difficulties, ones
    that I would not trade these for. 

    Just my rant because I get discouraged too but, have found no lack
    of opportunity, just a lack willingness or ability to take advantage
    of the opportunities I am presented with.
