Sometimes you get in a rut as a creative professional, wondering if you’ll ever be a professional, creatively, or if you’ll be forever stuck in some dead-end day job that’s designed to pay the bills but barely does. And then you might fantasize that some big change, or chance encounter, or fabulous coincidence is going to turn it around FOREVAH. Sometimes, though, we should be careful what we wish for…Suzanne Clores tells this story.

And speaking of artists trying to be creative professionals, please support our Radiotopia Fall Campaign to raise money for 2016 and keep this show and 12 other stellar shows in production. It’s ON right now at www.radiotopia.fm. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
