I am a struggling artist. I am struggling to make money with my art. I don't want a job with a boss. I don't want to work odd jobs because I don't like being bossed around. I hope to get into the music industry. I'm a jazz musician. I don't think it's easy to be a jazz musician these days. I really like classic jazz musicians and singers. I do volunteer work. I am grateful. I have a cat.
I have a cat and two dogs. I painted a picture of my pets. I have a cat named Tiggy and a dog named Zelda. I am a painter. I study art at community college. I volunteer in my community. I was a starving artist for 20 years. I hope to be a nurse. I want to save up money so I can go to college to train to be a nurse. I used to struggle financially. I used to rely on my family and friends for support when I was an artist. I also used to work some odd jobs. I had government help. I sometimes don't want to be bossed around by my professors. I love jazz music. I paint impressionist paintings. I really like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Salvador Dali. I like to help others.
I got a steady gig at a restaurant! That is awesome. When do you start? Maybe I can come watch. I start tomorrow, I am a bit nervous as I have no experience with working in a restaurant or with a boss that supervises me. Don't be nervous. You love playing music so just sit back and enjoy it. I suppose, hopefully I can still have time for my other interests. I still want to do volunteer work at a regular basis. How many days do they have you preforming? I am sure you will still get time to do that. I am working part time for now, so only five days a week and not on the weekends. Although they did mention I might have to be on call for certain weekends that have events or special occasions. Then make sure you volunteer on the weekend unless you know it is a holiday. I am sure you will get your time.  Thats the plan, I am sure I can make it work if I plan out my time carefully. Have you painted any impressionist works recently? I am in the middle of a piece right now. Having some issues finishing it. I can relate to that, sometimes I experience a creativity block while I am finishing up a piece, and I can't think of a way to end a song that I feel meets my standards. We are always our hardest critic. Everyone loves my pieces, but at times I don't like them at all.
