Hey, good for you! I'm a recent subsciber and I found you through Austin Kleon. Having a job where you "take care of other people" is challenging, to say the least. So congrats on figuring out your next best step in your own life. I wish you success, joy, and fulfillment.

Write for yourself and f-em if they don't love it. When you write for others, then stress/anxiety ensues. Because you WANT them to love it. Same applies to art vs. design. Art for yourself. Design for everybody else. The cool shit happens when you do it for yourself and everybody else loves it. Like getting that rad Kenworth semi tattoo on your thigh.

I know you get it, big bro! I'd only get a semi tattooed on my thigh if you drew it. Get it going and I'll think about it!

FWIW flamin' hot cheetos on sushi rolls are SO good! We have a place in my college town that did custom rolls and that was one of the toppings, it was so good and I got it every time!
