Having that little bit of breathing room to work, and not feeling like it's going to fall apart at any second, has allowed me to recover the feeling I had when I was a little kid, when I was writing stories for fun or drawing pictures for my parents to put on their refrigerator.

And that's how art should feel for me, and how having a little bit more distance between my ass and the ground has helped me.
