Starving Artist!

We've all heard the term, starving artist. How true that is/would be if some of us relied solely on our art for income. With that being said, do any of you use your writing skills to make a little extra money? Blog? Contests? Writing for a local paper or magazine? Share the love with your fellow artists! Post contest sites, links to magazines or news papers that take submissions, anything. They don't necessarily have to pay, after all a writer's reputation often determines their income! Help fellow aspiring authors get their names out there!

I am Starving.

As a child, I always thought artistic jobs were just dreams for rich people or those living with other financial support. I never thought creative hobbies could be jobs, but today, they are. I have been freelancing for about two to three years thus far. I started my journey with just general art, and now I am also a tattoo artist. I would sell paintings, make custom pieces for people, commission unique crafts, and more. I love creating new things for people, but it is very difficult to make a livable income off of it. Not only do consumers not always see the value of handmade work, but the cost of being a business owner or freelancer is much higher than that of someone working under someone else.

Why do I do it? Why is the hard work so worth it? As your own boss, you have more flexibility. I may be starving for money at times, but at least I'm happy. I get to live my life on my own schedule. I have the privilege of creating one of a kind works on and for people. Being an artist has led me to so many amazing people, experiences, and places. I can't imagine getting the opportunities I do now, sitting at a 9-5 job. Experiences in life are worth so much more than your net worth at the end of the day. I care more about how I can impact and better people's lives through my passions rather than giving a company my time and effort to be underappreciated.

Help?!

So how to get started? How to get the first novel published? Or where to get feedback on why they are rejecting my first story? (6 minutes is record, so far!)

How did you guys (the successful ones!) get that first break, the first recognition by an agent or magazine or wherever?

PLEASE pass on your tips to be successfully published!!!!
