Imagine how productive we would be if we could take long, aimless drives, amble around our neighborhoods thinking and sit in a quiet corner of Starbucks enjoying a latte.

Because Taylor is right--people outside the arts look at artists as "time wasters." Until they get that book deal or sell that painting. This is unfortunate because when artists need support the most is when they're struggling. Hmmm...quite the conundrum.<br /><br />Here, here to "wasting time" today, writers! <br /><br />Great post, Sarah!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664402491780777165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693050953762677969.post-83772962056461750642010-01-20T00:07:59.349-06:002010-01-20T00:07:59.349-06:00Oh, how I long for some still time!
