Hovel

I am starting to wonder if i bite off more than i can chew in everything, just so i can rediscover my limitations. So many projects, and none getting me paid. So much work being done, and time away in my own little world of bad music and a keyboard and laptop screen. It rarely gets old, but when it does, i just BS on FB for hours and don't make any progress. Or, i allow the tv to distract me, so i end up laughing at a joke on it.
I need my little hovel,
a place i can disappear from existence, and sit in a distraction free environment with power and a place to sit that doesn't hurt my ass or my sides. A place designed (within reason) for me to keep all my editing and filming stuff.
This place, soon will be made from my walk-in closet. Yes. My hovel will be in the closet, and i will spend a lot of work time in the closet. (in the closet, get it? XD) With a small desk, chair, and power chord running into it. So i can sit down, plug in, fire up my drive, shut the door and get down to work, with out the distractions of TV, food, or family. I love all 3, but they are distracting! Gotta put them aside just long enough to attempt to secure a better future for them.
My biggest concern about my choice of career is my family. Will i know my kids, and vice versa? Or will i end up being the dad who is divorced and two kids, and paying thousands for child support for the kids i cant see because i am gone all the time on business?
I want to find that balance, where i can have both, a job i love, and my sweet little family too.
finding the balance is a job in itself.
