No More Excuses...Please Help A Wannabe Songwriter

[vurt]

i was just interested if there was a goal.
im not out to get you, was just wondering out loud as it were.

Let me just clarify something. I'm not doing this because I'm destitute and need money to survive. My wife just came into a decent inheritance. This isn't about the money. It's about ME feeling that I've accomplished something with my musical life that was worth something, anything, to somebody.

Okay, I don't have to be the next Justin Bieber.

I get that. I'm just saying, I really don't expect much. Even a little will be fine.

You don’t want little fanclub Waggers?

good, because if you where destitute youd be f**ked thinking the entertainment industry is your way out.
not that it cant happen, but riches are rare in this business.

Riches in this business are a pipe dream. Only 1% make it. I'm not crazy enough to think I have a chance in hell of being able to retire off of this. I just want to know that I wrote music that I got paid for. If I can't do at least that much then I'm really pitiful at this.

To assess one's own self-worth, or indeed the worth of the fruits of one's labour, in terms of the vagaries and biases of the capitalist market is a mug's game.

And after 5 years (that's what I'm giving this) it doesn't pay at all, I'm going back to writing pop songs.

Like I said, I have a plan.

People have FIVE year plans at your age?????

I would have thought they would revolve around still eating solids and not requiring geriatric diapers
