You’re ready to take a calculated risk when it comes to gathering the support your creative dreams need. But first, put yourself out there, quirks and all. Whether you’re applying for an artist’s grant or setting up your first Patreon page, don’t dial down your weirdness. In fact, it’s your singular gifts that will magnetize opportunities to you. Believe that your work, in all its strangeness, has value in this world. Yes, even your Etsy shop of hand-felted gnomes.
