Jane,
Your website is impressive and you obviously have a great deal of creative skill. I have only one small piece of advice - as you are an attractive woman, your picture might attract the horndogs and detract from your writing. If it doesn't bother you it sure doesn't bother me - but as an artist myself, I have the usual horror of "not being taken seriously".
Have you read Touched With Fire? Particularly if you're bi-polar, as I am, I cannot recommend this book strongly enough to the artist. It addresses the problem of creativity vs. medication, as psychiatric drugs will often dampen a creative spirit. I wish I could remember the poem about "my candle burns at both ends..." because I believe it describes exactly the artistic manic-depressive.
We are brilliant lights.
