> When your rent payment depends on your art I think this applies to ANYTHING you enjoy. Take X activity that you love to do, and start doing it to survive (a paycheck). Suddenly, X becomes a burden and a chore, and your previous love for X goes out the window. I have experienced this with programming. When I started, I thought I had won the lottery. I loved it so much, and to think, I could make money doing this! Well, 10 years later my love has significantly waned. I still enjoy it, and I am content in my job, but I have nowhere near the intrinsic motivation to work that I had when I started.
