Reflecting back on the weekend... I feel great! I'm starting to believe that maybe I can make a living in the creative world. I recognise that courses like the one I've just attended, provides a sheltered safe haven, where you are in a creative head space, and the opportunities for your creations appear endless. I acknowledge that reality is very different and if I was forced to produce creativity on demand, to have to earn enough to put food on the table, my feelings towards my crafty passions may be very different.
Still, the weekend left me thinking about what life would be like if I devoted all my time to doing what I love. It wouldn't be about money, but I do need enough to get by. How much money would I require? What would I do with all my time?
Just a preliminary fantasy schedule of how I envision my week -
Monday - TBC
Tuesday - Lace Making at Ruths ($20 for 2 hours)
Wednesday - Day at the Bindery (Cost of materials - $10/day)
Thursday - TBC
Friday - TBC
Saturday - TBC
Sunday - TBC
I do want to do some volunteer work but obviously, a part time job of some kind needs to fill in the TBCs. But what kind of job?
Just out of curiosity, I've just had a quick search through Seek.
Jobs Location: Sydney.
Key word search: "Part time".
Search Results: A 3 Day admin assistant role at Random House? A 2 day Comms Officer role for the Government?
... Not bad!
It's such a big decision and I'd have to consult MP about it... but it's fun dreaming.
