Sometimes I don't see how my babysitting career could possibly be helping my music career. Except that it pays the bills most months and keeps me sane.
But at the end of the summer one of my families gave me a gift certificate to our local bookstore as a thank you gift. It was really nice and I had such a great time just browsing the stacks, touching all the paperbacks and new releases. It was so nice to know that I had $50 to spend on books that I couldn't spend on electric bills or groceries. So I savored the browsing and contemplated buying dozens of different titles. But when I saw The Artist's Way I knew I would get it. I've been wanting it for a long time, but for some reason have never bought the book and started the program.
But now I'm one week in and already figuring out so much about my own creative life and history and potential and my blocks. And wouldn't it just be perfect if this book gets me to the place where I write my first hit, but that I only had the book because one of the families I babysit for gave me a gift certificate to a bookstore? Yes, that would be perfect. I must write a hit so I can use that angle for the publicity tour. I can just see it now. Nanny Montanta on top thanks to babysitting job!
