So for me the creative world isn__ what you do after your day job, though many professional musicians do this to make ends meet, but it__ something that IS a job. Perhaps that__ why I__ not as disheartened by the more cold blooded aspects of the industry. Over the course of watching my mother navigate the creative world I__e seen just about every trick pulled that could have been and I__e seen her deposit the checks received for a job well done. When I recently asked her why she chose the creative world she said: __arly on I decided that if I had to work I was going to work at something that I loved.____ glad she did. As difficult, chaotic, dysfunctional and crazy as the world in music and the arts can be I always knew that they mattered deeply to her, as they do to me.

Awful first drafts are fine__gree with this.If you don__ finish something, you__l never get in the game. Just quell the voice in your head that says __re you kidding? No one is going to want to read this drivel_ and keep on going. You__e going to revise and revise and then revise again anyway.
