Things are not quite going the way I expected on the whole.It’s coming up to 2 year’s since I left the Civil Service and nothing has gone as I planed. I have learned a lot and mostly I feel less stressed and apart from a few minor lows I have not had any re-occurrence of serious depression but the plans I hoped to put in to action to support myself have flopped quite badly.
I have achieved quite a few things that I am proud of including:
- National Radio play for one of my Glass Cage songs
- Local radio play for Elephant Shelf
- Performing in a fringe festival
- Performing regularly as an accompanist in a west end venue
- Singing lead vocals live with a band regularly
- Telling jokes as part of the duo act
- Recording and mastering a CD for Elephant Shelf and getting 1100 pressed
- Playing at some very well known and respected venues
- Joining PRS
I could go on, its been quite a learning curve so on a personal level it’s been good and worth doing but financially its not going well.
I had hoped to do some IT freelancing but on the last project I got unwell and had to stop though ironically I seem to be functioning better than ever now. But I fall apart under any sort of pressure. There has to be something that I can do to make up the short fall financially without cracking up again.
