Hello Friends,
I apologize that its been a few days since my last post – you might say my creative mind has been in a traffic jam. You know, it’s similar to trying to fit 10,000 cars up a one-way street in a fog – [lol]. My mind has been so full of ideas and directions that I haven’t been able to get through but I promise a change is on the horizon.
Even as this is being typed out on my trusty keyboard, I am preparing to release a number of new projects all for the discerning eyes of the public at large. So hang in there, I’ll provide a pay-off for the patient.
In other news . . .
1. I’ve been integrating a new iPad into my workflow (which hasn’t been as easy as I thought) but I have to say – WOW – if you have a chance or a choice, the iPad is DEFINITELY the way to go!
2. It’s that funky time of year when the weather [or the fog] can’t make up it’s mind what it wants to do. For a photographer the fog is a funny thing . . . never any when you want it and stuck in the way when you don’t. I’ve got to figure out a way to get the weather to cooperate with my schedule. If anyone has any ideas please let me know [tee-hee].
3. I’ve recently been working as an accompanist with 2 very talented individuals which has filled my mind with even more “stuff.” I love being around singers and musicians – even the primadonnas. It makes life challenging and rewarding all at the same time – sorta like heaping sweet and sour sauce on everything at the Chinese buffet (guilty confession).
4. Writing, writing, writing . . . I’m so far behind on my query letters I may never get another gig. Do you writers find yourself procrastinating in this tedious, but necessary task? I’d sure love some advice on how to more smoothly work this into my everyday plan, and then actually stick to it!
5. Now to the speakers out there – what do you do to keep things fresh and exciting? Is there a routine you have or maybe just plan to change things up from event to event. I’m starting to find myself getting a little bored with myself which signals real loud that it won’t be long before my audiences start getting bored with me too so any advice would be greatly appreciated! 
I’m so sorry that I dumped all this in everyone’s lap but at least we can all know that we, as creators have a lot of hoops that we jump through. Its kinda funny that most people who don’t do this think all we do is sit around all day throwing paint on a canvas or taking snapshots of flowers and then we get to spend the majority of the day on the golf course. Geeez – I wish. My clubs have more dust on them than your average desert and it seems like every time I get a chance to sit down and have some me time, I just fall asleep.
All that being said – I wouldn’t do anything else for the world!!
