Procrastination

So here I am procrastinating all of my studio work. I have 30 songs to record and write out on staff before I even think about recording for a new album and I am here writing my very first blog here at blogspot. Not to mention that I just got back from a long walk and the dog park.

I already feel like I need a nap and I haven't even brushed my teeth yet.

I guess that is my real challenge with music. It is incredibly hard to stay motivated and get a lot done when you don't get a paycheck. I love music! I love to create it... I love to sing it... I love to record it...I love to play it... but I really want to make a career out of it. It has escaped me thus far.

Sure, I teach lessons and I have CDs to sell but that hardly gives me a productive income. I have spent more than I have ever made in the ten years I have been doing music. Gary says he doesn't mind and I joke about him "supporting my music habit" but I feel weird saying that it is my career. Doesn't a career involve making a living? I am incredibly blessed to have such a husband. I hope one day I can pay him back for everything I have invested in my non-paying full-time-plus job.

BACK TO WORK!!!
