Date: 2009-03-30 04:05 pm (UTC)My parents, my mother in particular don't support my up and coming career in a creative field. She refers to all the time spent on the computer working out plots and ideas as "wasting my time". What can I do to convince her that my time spent does make money, and is valuable?
Thanks,
Naomi

Parents are always the toughest. My own wish I'd do something respectable. There's no good way to convince anyone of anything, short of doing something so amazing the money literally rolls in. But creativity is what makes us human more than anything else. Without it, we're money-making machines.
"Do what you love, the money will follow," my boy's grandfather told him. I can't say it better than that.
If enough money follows, she might change her mind.

Help?
