I've found a struggle recently between satisfying my creative whims, and paying the bills. As a freelancer, I'm asked to draw what folk request; don't get me wrong, just being able to draw for a living pleases me very much, so this isn't a complaint.

It's just that I often wish I had the financial freedom to work on my own projects. It's been said that following one's passion ultimately leads to success, but I've always hesitated to put aside paying work to focus on vanity projects. There's always the chance that my concepts properly developed/presented could become sources of income, which only adds to my confusion.

Time management is the obvious answer; working on personal projects during 'free' time will help me scratch my creative itches.

I consider myself truly blessed to find myself in such a quandry.
