I see it slightly different, Angel. I don't see it as a "job"... Not the way you do it. Your heart is in it. You put everything that you are into your music. It is more than a job. It is your way of life.

For a job you go somewhere for a few hours out of the day, do work, go home and relax a bit. When you work with something like music and your heart is in it you do not get that. You may be doing something else but the human mind is a vast thing... You may be reading a book but somewhere in the back of your head you are working on a new song. You may not realize it while you are doing it but it is there.

For those people that ask if you have a "real" job tell them you have a "life"... If they base themselves on a "real" job then their life is given to someone else. You have chosen the path right for your heart. It is more than a job.

Smart man. *smiles* That ~is~ how I see it. It's no more a job than being a mother is. It ~is~ a way of life....my way of life. You put it into an amazing simplicity I couldn't have.

Thank you. I'm glad you understand.

I'm a writer, remember? I may not have what it takes to do anything profesional right now but writing is my way of life. So I know exactly how it is for you, Angel.
