I got an email from a friend this morning. It stares at me, waiting for me to reply but I can’t. I don’t know how to answer her question because it seems too big. Yet all she asked was “How is your first day on the job as a freelance artist?”

I could tell her it’s overwhelming and that I don’t know where to begin. Where do I start? Do I paint, write, think, create, eat, put on lipstick?
