If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you are determined enough and willing to pay the price, you can get it done.
I was planning to remain an amateur for a while.
An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint. A professional is someone whose wife works to enable him to paint.
As a professional, I cannot afford to be complacent.
Here in America, people are very professional.
It is expensive to start from scratch though.
The money can be decent, but I really don't recommend the work-for-hire route as an entry into publishing. Too many things can go wrong.
Usually people just hire me.
Being professional is just really clearly the way to go and helps you on the road to longevity.
Amateurs hope, professionals work.
