Where I want to live

I used to want to live here, in Asheville, but now I'm questioning that... I'm one of those poor souls who thinks she can make it as an artist. Here in Asheville though, there are lots of artists and we'd be competing for commissions and since I would be just starting out I probably wouldn't get many. Perhaps in or close to a big city with few artists would be good. And restraunts and other stores want to distinguish themselves from others. Perhaps I could find work with that. Then once people see my work maybe they'll want something for themselves. I can hope at least.
