Selling Out

Real artists ship. - Steve Jobs

I haven’t been writing any songs lately. I’ve been focused on my chops and music theory that goes along with that. However, I think another reason I haven’t been writing is the perfectionist in me. Whether you are developing a computer, a car, a song, or a painting, it’s all too easy to want it to be perfect and complete. But, you have to be able to stop and say it is truly good enough as it is. This may really be where the art is.

I have also been thinking about what I could try to do with my songs if I do start writing again. Let’s just say I would not complain about making some “mailbox money” if that were to occur. I would also love to develop my recording, producing, and arranging skills, even somewhat.

See you at the bank!
