One Great Resource

Okay. Great couple of weeks.

I haven't been writing because I've been working on a few grants. That won't happen again--because there's a lot of juicy material I could be sharing about that process.

One thing's for sure: every part of your the work you are currently doing can help you make money (sustain yourself) in your future.

TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED.

Anyhoo, on to the resources.

As a self-sponsor, you've got to create some rituals that support you while you support yourself. I stumbled across Zenhabits while checking out the blog of one of my fav artists, Pharrell. It's not about converting you to a Buddhist monk; it's about creating habits that help ease your life.

Why this blog?

I am an artist who is tired of the starving artist syndrome. I have gotten work funded, and so have my colleagues.



Getting it funded consistently, especially when you're doing something groundbreaking, can be a challenge. But it's not impossible.



So, I'm documenting all the resources in funding an innovative project that I come across.



It's my hope that I encourage you to go after the big project. To plan it, get support, and get it done. Perhaps we can collaborate, or maybe I can just send you in the right direction.



I've always dreamed of two things. I want to tell a really good story, and I want to go up to a good person with a daring venture and say, "Here's some money. You should go do that."



Maybe I can do both with this blog.



Feedback is, of course, welcome. Your good stories about getting the money are essential.



Love, Nerissa
