i tend to work like this as well, but weeks instead of months. it is really tough! i get very obsessive with whatever i’m doing

and there is a long history of artists working with cofounders! generally it’s a wife who takes care of everything from feeding the artist to all the admin work and arranging gallery shows

accepting resumes if anyone is interested in this unpaid position 😎

I've often said that the one thing that would make the biggest difference in my creative output is just having a responsible adult (or two, or three) nearby with whom I could share the load of basic life maintenance duties. 

Doesn't even have to be a wife... haha.

(If you have someone in your life who helps you with life-admin-work so you have more free time to create, don't take them for granted!)

I’m a writer and an editor. I love art, literature, music, and to drink good coffee. I practice Ashtanga yoga. I’m here to connect and learn. 

Indeed. I've been trying to set up something like this for many, many years. I survived an intentional community attempt that collapsed on the launching pad about 20 years ago, and I haven't really had another viable opportunity since. More recently I've been trying to find a smaller land-mate situation, so we'll see.

If you would live in the same place, you would have to work less to pay the bills, which also gives you more time. I often thing about this.

this is the benefit of attending an artist residency program — not a long term solution, but long enough to create

For sure! Not the right solution for my situation, but I'm glad writer/artist residencies exist.
