Ponder, ponder
Jun. 12th, 2009 03:51 pmToday has been the sort of day where you hit the ground running. Luckily, my boss also told me to get the hell out of here at 4 so I could get home in time to see the entirety of Game 7. If anyone wants to come over and watch me yell at the TV, feel free.
Anyway, my friend![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mizkit is funding a short story over here. It has gotten me to thinking (that I would really like to read this story for one) that I do have more disposable income than others I know and that I, had it been the same in times past, would have liked to have been a patron of an artist or four.
I ponder what that might look like now, really. For instance, would it work if I were to provide a certain amount of money a month to someone so they had to do less 'pay the bills' sorts of work and more 'write a novel' or 'take pretty pictures' or 'paint a canvas' or 'create crazy felt creatures' sort of work? I know a number of writers for whom novel writing /is/ pay the bills writing, though, so that doesn't entirely balance out.
I'm weird but it makes sense to me that I would be willing to do work to allow someone else to do what they do (at all or perhaps faster), which will ultimately entertain me (and everyone else in the audience) at some point.
Do I make any sense at all here?
